Answer:

There are two types of movements done by the Earth, They are Rotation and Revolution.

Explanation:

Rotation:-

The first primary motion of the earth is rotation. The earth rotates in a counterclockwise pattern, spinning on its axis once every 24 hours. The earth wobbles as it rotates, similar to a spinning top because the rotation of the earth occurs at a slight tilt. The earth is tilted at approximately 23.5 degrees. The tilt of Earth, as it rotates, creates different gravitational forces at the north and south poles.

Revolution:-

As the earth rotates on its axis, it also revolves in orbit around the sun. It takes exactly 365 days for Earth to make one full trip around the sun -- our definition of a year. The earth follows a circular path as it travels around the sun in a counterclockwise pattern. The path that the earth travels is therefore referred to as the plane of the elliptical.

Hope it helps you!
