The Earth completes one full orbit around the Sun approximately every 365.25 days, which defines a year. This orbital motion is responsible for the changing seasons as the Earth's tilt affects the angle and duration of sunlight received at different times of the year. The extra 0.25 days is why we have a leap year every four years, adding an extra day to the calendar in February.

How do you know your earth is rotating on an axis?

We observe that the sun comes up on that side, crosses over, and goes down over on the other side, every day.We know that this could be the result of two different situations:Either . . . 1). The sun is traveling around the earth, every day,OR. . . . . . 2). The earth is spinning completely around, once every day.We really don't know how to decide, until somebody points out that EVERYTHING ELSE in the skyALSO appears to come up on that side, cross over, and go down over on the other side, every day.Now we have some tough thinking to do.Either . . . 1). EVERYTHING is traveling around the earth, every day,OR. . . . . . 2). The earth is spinning completely around, once every day.Bottom line . . . Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler, and Newton have been all through this problem for us,and nowadays most people have no trouble accepting the idea that it's much easier to accept thatthe earth spins completely around once every day, than to try to maintain that EVERYTHING we seein the sky travels around the earth, every day.

The Sun does not go around the Earth. The Earth goes around the Sun. it does this in about 365.25 days. The illusion that the Sun goes around the Earth is caused by the fact that the Earth rotates on its own axis every 24 hours, making it seem as if the Sun travels across the sky.
