Answer 2

Given Question :

The spinning of the Earth on its axis is called-

• (a) orbit
• (b) revolution
• (c) rotation

• (c) rotation

Why?

Rotation, as the name suggests "to rotate", to rotate and to spin are a little bit same, as a Top spins on its axis. Axis is the imaginary line surround the object ( here, earth) on which the body rotates.

$\longrightarrow$ Orbit - The movement of any celestial body around the sun or any heavenly body in the fixed path is called orbit.

$\longrightarrow$ Revolution - The movement of the earth around the sun in a fixed path is called revolution.

$\longrightarrow$ Rotation - Rotation is the movement of the earth on its axis.

$\longrightarrow$ Axis is the imaginary line through the centre of the earth around which it rotates.
