there are two types of motions experienced by the earth.
a. earth,s circular motion
b. earth,s rotation

a. the earth like the other planets of the solar system, moves in a circular orbit around the sun. it completes one revolution in 364.25 days

b. the second type of movement of the earth is around its axis which is slightly inclined to its axis of rotation.the earth completes one rotation in 24 hours.

both these motions bring numerous effects like variation in season, time , temperature, variation in days and nights, and e.tc.

earth has two type of movements
revolve (around sun in anti clockwise direction)
rotate ( around its own axis in anti clock wise direction west toward east.
