Briefly explain earth's daily rotation and annual orbit, defining the terms ecliptic plane and axis tilt.

The movement around the axis of the earth occurs once every 24 hours and it does so from a start point to finish in a term we can call complete revolution and it does this by day by day turn, every 24 hours. The yearly circle where the earth moves round the sun , however is a 365 transformation around the sun or ecliptic plane. It does this with the earth tilted at 23.5 degrees, off the opposite line to the ecliptic plane.
