Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The earth takes about 24 hours to complete one rotation on its axis . The period of rotation is known as the earth day. This is the daily motion of the earth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Earth’s axis is vertical, meaning it runs up and down. (A rolling log, on the other hand, has a horizontal axis, meaning it runs sideways.) Earth’s axis runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. It takes Earth 24 hours to make one complete rotation around this invisible line.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Earth orbits around the sun every 365.25 days. While the Earth is rotating on its axis, it also orbits the sun. It takes a little more than 365 days for the Earth to make a complete trip around the sun.
