Rotation

The video tutorial explains the difference between spinning and orbiting. It describes how an object spins when its axis is within its boundaries and orbits when the axis is outside. The Earth is used as an example, illustrating its spinning on its axis, which causes day and night, and its orbit around the sun, which results in the passing of years.
