An imaginary straight line around which an object spins. Sentences: Earth spins on its axis once every 24 hours. Earth's axis goes from the North Pole through Earth's center to the South Pole and is tilted.
23 hours and 56 minutes .Another way to measure a day is to count the amount of time it takes for a planet to completely spin around and make one full rotation. This is called a sidereal day. On Earth, a sidereal day is almost exactly 23 hours and 56 minutes.
The Earth rotates from the west towards east. This rotation causes both the wind and ocean currents to move from east to west. Thus, the wind movement and ocean current in the northern hemisphere goes clockwise and counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere.

An orbit is a regular, repeating path that one object in space takes around another one. An object in an orbit is called a satellite. A satellite can be natural, like Earth or the moon. Many planets have moons that orbit them.
365.25 days
Earth's revolution around the Sun takes much longer than its rotation on its axis. One complete revolution takes 365.25 days, or one year. The Earth revolves around the Sun because gravity keeps it in a roughly circular orbit around the Sun.
February 29 is a date that usually occurs every four years, and is called the leap day. This day is added to the calendar in leap years as a corrective measure, because the Earth does not orbit the sun in precisely 365 days. The Gregorian calendar is a modification of the Julian calendar first used by the Romans.
Answer:
- Earth axis gosh from the north pole through Earth Centre to the South Pole and its tilted.
- Earth take 24 hours to to take one rotation.
- the earth's rotation from the West was east. this rotation cause both the wind and ocean currents to move from east to west.
- Earth rotation from west to east.
- orbit is a curved path taken by a planet or another object as it moves around another planet star moon etc.
- -----
- the Earth takes 365 1/4 days to revolve around the sun.
February 29 is a date that usually occurs every 4 years and it is called the leap year this day is added to the calendar in leap years as a corrective measure because the or does not Orbit the sun in this precisely 365 days.
