First of all to correct your spelling. 'Imiginary' should be 'IMAGINARY'. and 'Witch' should be 'which'
There is no such word as 'imiginary' in the English language. 'Witch' is a 'female sorceress'. Please remember to correct your spelling in future.
Two answer your question ; The imaginary line is the AXIS'. on the surface of the Earth it is the two poles (North and South Poles).

In one week how many times will earth rotate on its axis?
Earth rotates approximately once every day. More accurately, once every 23h56m.
What is the time period taken by the moon to rotate?
Every 28 days, or a month, the moon rotates entirely around the Earth. The moon orbits the Earth, and the Earth orbits the Sun.
How does the moon rotate around earth?
The MOON rotates on its own axis. It is a very slow rotation compared to the Earth. It rotates on its own axis about every 28 days. It also revolves (Orbits) the Earth every 28/29 days. Consequently we only see approxiamtely 60% of the Moon's surface from Earth. It was only when spaceships were launchedto the Moon, that we saw the 'Far side of the Moon' for the first time in history. Like the Earth's orbital track about the Sun, the Moon's orbital track about the Earth is an ellipse. So sometimes it is nearer Earth and sometimes further away. The Earth lies at one of the foci (NOT the centre), of this orbit. Remember all astronomic bodies stars, moons, planets (Earth included), ROTATE on their own AXIS. They REVOLVE(Orbit) about other objects e.g. Suns.
Which planet rotates the slowest?
Venus rotates once every 243 Earth days and thus is the slowest.
Earth's period of revolution is 8766.15 hours How many times does earth rotate during one revolution around the sun?
Earth rotates once every 24 hours. If you divide 8766.15 by 24, you get pretty close to the number of days in a year. __________ Not quite. 24 hours is the average synodic period of earth, not the rotational (sidereal) period. Earth rotates once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds roughly. This turns out to be about 23.93 hours. The orbital period of earth is 8766.152784 hours roughly. So the earth rotates (sidereal) about 366.325 times in a year. See discussion if you doubt this result.
How does earth rotate and revolution around the sun?
The Earth rotates every hour and it takes 365.25 days to go around the sun. the earth rotates with the magnetic poles and it uses gravity to go around the sun
Does the moon rotate on its axis twice each time it revolves around earth?
No. The moon rotates once for every orbit it makes around Earth.

Does the sun rotate around itself?
The sun rotates on its axis. Because the sun is not solid, different layers rotate at different rates. Measurably, however, there is a layer of the sun that rotates once every 25 earth days. You can read more, below.
What what does the earth rotate?
Its axis The earth rotates around its axis - an imaginary line running from the North Pole through the centre of the earth to the South Pole. It rotates around this line once every day. it is this rotation which causes day and night. axis
Which planet rotates most slowly about it axis?
You would think that the largest planet, Jupiter, would rotate the slowest (every 9 earth days and 15 minutes), but it is actually Venus that rotates the slowest at one rotation every 243 earth days.
Do the earth rotates every month?
No, the Earth rotates once in a day.
How long does it take the moon to rotate around the sun?

Does the earth rotate every 24 hours?
Rotates continuously and ends up facing the same way after 24 hours. So yes.
How many more times does Saturn rotate than earth?
Saturn's rotation is about 10 hours, 45 minutes so it rotates 2.23 times every Earth day.
