Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Objects rotate around an axis, but revolve around other objects. So Earth rotates around its axis as it revolves around the sun. It takes Earth 365 days to complete a revolution. Leftover momentum from when planets were forming makes Earth, and all planets in the solar system, rotate and revolve.
Detailed explanation-2: -As Earth rotates on its axis, the different locations on Earth change position in relation to the Sun. A city on Earth that faces toward the Sun at noon will rotate to face away from the Sun 12 hours later. The positions of Earth and the Sun over the course of a 24-hour rotation cause sunrise, sunset, day, and night.
