The movement of the earth does not have an affect on time as such. Because the earths movements are not completely smooth and unchanging, it is necessary to alter our clocks, from time to time, to reflect these changes tiny though they are they accumulate.
A day on Earth is caused by the planet's rotation on its axis, which takes approximately 24 hours to complete. This rotation results in the cycle of daylight and darkness that we experience as the sun appears to rise and set each day.
The imaginary line that the Earth spins on is called the axis.
The movement of an object around its own axis is called rotation. On Earth, this rotation takes about 24 hours to complete one full rotation.
The Earth takes approximately 24 hours to complete one full rotation on its axis, which is what causes day and night. However, to travel once around the world in terms of its orbit around the sun, it takes about 365.25 days, which is why we have leap years every four years to account for the extra quarter day.
The imaginary line passing through the center of the Earth between the North and South Poles, around which the Earth rotates, is called the Earth's axis.
It takes 27.32 of the time interval that we call our "day".

Yes, the atoms in the body rotate at the same rate on the same axis that the Earth rotates, giving us a direct connection with the place we call Earth.. Comment: I don't know if that's meant to be a joke. Obviously it's not true.
The axis makes the Earth to rotate. P.S. The Earth takes 24 hours to make a complete rotation on its axis. 2nd answer: More correctly, the Earth orbits the Sun once per year.
The imaginary line that the Earth spins on is called the axis.
The movement of an object around its own axis is called rotation. On Earth, this rotation takes about 24 hours to complete one full rotation.
First, you have to define what you mean by a "day" on the sun.If you define it to mean the length of time it takes the sun to rotate once on its axis, thenyou're talking about anywhere between 25 - 36 earth days. Since the sun isn't solid, it doesn'thave to rotate all in one piece, and in fact different latitudes on the sun rotate at different rates.If you pick the number somewhere in the middle, and call it 30 earth days, then that's your answer.30 days on earth is one 'day' on the sun.Please just leave it there, and don't ask "How long is a night on the sun ?" .
Rotation, on its own axis. ...Coriolis
Its axis
A globe, such as the earth, rotates about its axis.
That depends on what you call a "lunar cycle". -- If you mean the time it takes for the moon to return to the same place on the map of the stars, that's 27.32 days and exactly one (1.000) axial rotation of the moon. -- If you mean the time it takes for the moon to display a complete cycle of phases in the sky, that's 29.531 days, or 1.081 rotations.
The Earth rotates (spins) roughly 365.25 times during the time it takes to complete one orbital revolution around the sun. That longer period is the one we call "year".
