Keep Reading Below Before there were planets in our solar system, there was a spinning, nebulous cloud of dust with our sun at the center.
Orbital characteristics. Earth spins on an imaginary line called an axis that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, while also orbiting the sun. It takes Earth 23.439 hours to complete a rotation on its axis, and roughly 365.26 days to complete an orbit around the sun.Earth's axis of rotation is tilted in relation to the ecliptic plane, an imaginary surface through Earth's orbit around the sun.arth's formation and evolution.
