Rotation. It takes 24 hours to rotate fully one time. The side facing the sun is in daylight, the side facing away is in night.
An interesting fact is that in order for us to experience 365 days in a year, the Earth has to rotate 366 times as it revolves around the sun in that year.
The imaginary line around which a planet spins is called its axis. It is an invisible line that runs from the planet's north pole to its south pole and determines the direction of rotation.
If it also emits pulses in each rotation, it is called a pulsar.
rotation (as opposed to orbiting, which describes the earth's movements around the sun)
The Earth spins like a top around its own axis. The Earth orbits the Sun. The Sun has its own proper motion through the Milky Way galaxy, and orbits the center of the galaxy every 220 million years or so. The Milky Way galaxy itself is moving, but because we don't have any fixed point of reference in the universe, we don't know in what direction.
Venus is the only planet in our solar system that spins clockwise on its axis. This is also known as a retrograde rotation.
The imaginary line that the Earth spins on is called the axis.
the sun doesn't move. the planets rotate on the suns axis. the moon spins on the eath axis and takes 28 days to do so. this creates a month.

The imaginary line between the poles of the Earth around which the Earth spins is called the "axis of rotation".
the earth spins on an imaginary line called axis.
the earth spins on an imaginary line called axis.
Earth spins on a imaginary line called an Axis that's what it rotates on aswell. An axis has an angel for the Earth to spin on. An Equator is another imaginary line.
The imaginary line between the poles of the Earth around which the Earth spins is called the "axis of rotation".
Rotation
That's called the axis.
Its called the earth's axis
The imaginary line around which a planet spins is called its axis. It is an invisible line that runs from the planet's north pole to its south pole and determines the direction of rotation.
