RafaIt spins by......
Well the Earth is tilting to one side and it spins both around a sun and in a circle itself. The reason it never stops is because of Isac Newtons 1st Law of Motion. It is called inertia. It means that any object in motion will stay in motion until any force or friction is to come upon it. That means the Earth won't stop until something is to hit it. (That won't happen) How did the Earth start moving in the first place? Well, the Earth was just a tiny clump of gas and dirt floating around the sun. As these clumps joined together and made a ball, they were still moving because there was nothing to stop it. So that's how were still here today! (P.S. When the Earth spins on its axis, it causes both night and day! What a miracle!) Hope this Helps!
I'm a total blank on Sports of any kind, but this may help:
Picture Michael Jordan clowning on the court before the game. He holds the Basketball with both hands,
but it's perched on the tip of the finger of one hand. He gives it a mighty spin, and then he can take away
the other hand, because it's stabilized while it's spinning and doesn't need to be supported.
While it's perched on one finger and spinning, THAT'S what the earth looks like ... spinning on an imaginary axis,
but without the finger.

Does the sun spin around its axis?
yes
How long does it take for earth to spin round?
It takes the earth to spin once on its axis 1 day i hope this helped :)
Does the moon spin on its axis"?
Oh, that's a great question, friend! The moon does indeed spin on its axis, just like Earth does. This spinning motion helps create the day-night cycle on the moon and influences its landscape in interesting ways. Such a fascinating dance of nature, don't you think?
What is the imaginary line around the earth that makes it spin?
There is no such line. The imaginary line through its centre is the axis, which the Earth rotates around; the imaginary line an equal distance from the poles is the equator. Neither make it spin - that is caused by momentum from the planet's formation.
What is it called when a planet complete spin on its axis?
A planet completing one full rotation on its axis is called a "day." This is what determines the length of a day on that planet.
