The spinning of Earth on its axis is Earth's rotation.

Many people believe that the temperature becomes lower in winters and higher in summers because the Earth is closer to the sun in summer and farther from the sun in winter. In fact, the Earth is farthest from the sun in July and is closest to the sun in January. The main reason behind these temperature changes in different seasons is because the earth's axis is tilted. It is all about the tilt of the Earth's axis.
Answer:
The earth rotates once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09053 seconds, called the sidereal period, and its circumference is roughly 40,075 kilometers. Thus, the surface of the earth at the equator moves at a speed of 460 meters per second--or roughly 1,000 miles per hour.
