Hey mate....
1) Earth's rotation is the rotation of Planet Earth around its own axis. Earth rotates eastward, in prograde motion. As viewed from the north pole star Polaris, Earth turns anticlockwise.
2) Revolution is the movement of one object around a center or another object, a forceful overthrow of a government by the people or any sudden or grand change. It takes the Earth 365 days to complete it's revolution around the sun.
3) This titled position of the earths axis is known as inclination of the earths axis. The earth's rotation axis makes an angle of about 66.5 degrees with the plane of its orbit around the sun, or about 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular to the ecliptic plane.
4) Earth spins on its axis once in every 24-hour day. At Earth's equator, the speed of Earth's spin is about 1,000 miles per hour (1,600 km per hour). The day-night has carried you around in a grand circle under the stars every day of your life, and yet you don't feel Earth spinning.
HOPE IT HELPS YOU....
