The spinning of Earth around its axis is called rotation
The spinning of Earth on its axis is known as its rotation. It takes approximately 24 hours for Earth to complete one full rotation. This rotation is what causes day and night to occur.
No, the Earth is not spinning backwards. It rotates on its axis in a consistent direction, which causes day and night.
The imaginary line through Earth's poles is called the axis. It is an imaginary line that Earth rotates around.
TIME TAKEN FOR THE EARTH FOR 1 rotation i.e spinning on its own axis : 24 hrs n 1 revolution i.e spinning around the sun : 365.24 days
Earth's axis is an invisible line, tilted at about 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular to its orbital plane.It goes through the Earth's poles. In general, an axis is any line that helps describe how some objects move. Imagine a string that goes right through the center of a ball (or any solid object). Pull the string taught and imagine spinning the object on the string. The string represents the part of the ball that is not really moving, or that is moving the least. In the case of objects moving in space, there is no physical string or other structure. The Earth naturally moves in a spinning fashion, around an imaginary line called the axis. In the case of a freely spinning body, the axis will contain the point known as the center of mass.

Rotating (spinning) on an axis is what Earth's rotation does in creating day and night.
The rotation of the Earth is called as the spinning of the Earth in its axis.
Yes, the earth does spin around its axis. That's what causes the apparent movement of the sun and the stars. If your question was rather what spinning on its axis mean? Ever saw a sphere spinning? It means that.

Earth's Rotation
In addition to rotating on its axis (spinning), our earth also revolves around the sun (orbits).
The spinning of Earth on its axis is known as its rotation. It takes approximately 24 hours for Earth to complete one full rotation. This rotation is what causes day and night to occur.
It's axis.
The imaginary line which a planet spins around is called its axis. This axis is tilted relative to its orbit around the Sun, which gives rise to changing seasons on Earth.
The Earth rotates on its axis, and it revolves around the sun. Rotation is the same as spinning, and this is what a top does, or a coin that has been set spinning on its edge on a table. In the case of a coin spinning on its edge, the 'axis' goes right up through the flat dimension of the coin.
