rotation
Rotation - when a celestial object revolves - it orbits, when it rotates, it's rotating on it's own axis.A spinning top is spinning centered on it's own axis, the axis itself often moves but rarely in a smooth orbit.
Anything that rotates. Stars, planets, moons, galaxies, a rotating wheel, a spinning football, etc.
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.
It's axis.
All planets do. The difference is that for gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune), the speed of the "surface spin" is often quite different from the rotation of the atmosphere, which will vary by latitude.
It has a retrograde spin, spinning in the opposite direction to most other planets.

Spinning on an Axis was created in 2001.

The Earth spinning on its axis would be one, with the periodic rotation of the planets round the Sun being another.
A planet spinning on it's axis is called rotation
"Rotation" is the spinning of a planet on its axis.

Planets spin on their axis as they orbit around a star. This rotation causes day and night cycles, and influences factors like climate and atmospheric circulation. The speed of the planet's spin can vary, with some planets spinning faster or slower than others.
