Like, what is the opposite reaction to its revolution around the sun?
& what about other planets?

earth already in motion, so there is no energy being exerted to make it stay in motion. Any reaction would have be local and mostly atmospheric at the time of creation

The earth does not spin itself as you put it, so, yes the opposite reaction would not exist. On the other hand, the earth's continuous spinning is interesting and it would have an certain relation to the moon's rotation about the earth and the revolution of the earth about the sun.
My first thought about the earth's rotation would be from early development of the earth and the moon and solar wind. It would make sense that the solar wind initiated the spin of the earth. The moon is theorised as a catastrophic collision with the earth. The moon is a big chunk of the earth broken off and hurled into an orbit about the earth. The collision would have interfered with the rotation of the earth, but over a long term of billions of years the energy of the solar winds would eventually overcome any change to the rate due to a collision. What keeps the earth in a constant rotation rate? Why doesn't the earth pick up speed over time and what are the limiting factors to the speed? It is known the moon is gradually moving away from the earth. (Thanks to God) So, it is obvious the moon is gaining inertia escaping the earth's gravitational forces and it may be the solar wind which is adding the energy to drive the moon's speed. The rotation of the earth and revolution of the moon are the equal and opposite reactions to a force.

The earth does not spin itself.thats a myth.all motions are relative.
newtons law says action and reaction are equal and opposite.dats true.
in this specific case there is no action,hence reaction does not occur.The motion of the earth is itself a net result of all forces acting on the system.
also please note that newtons law is also hypothetical and is applicable only under sevrely limiting circumstances and universal.The law is at best a hypothesis which works under the system of the earth.
it does not work in space

Here for earth newton's 3 rd law doesnot applicable to whole sphere. It is divided into two halves like hemisphere and action takes place on lower part of sphere and reaction takes place in opposite direction on the other half. that is why we feel we are static.

Work done = Force x displacement
This is an useful formula in this context. Actually Although displacement occurs in this case, no force needs to be exerted as there is no friction or opposing force in the space. So the work done in this case is 'zero'. The reaction is its revolution itself; its reaction to the big bang. Hope you understand it,
||Good Luck||

Opposite reaction would be pulling motion because "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

earth exerts gravitational force consider this as action and in turn i.e as reaction other planets exert gravitational force on earth.so earth is held in position due to gravitational force

OMG
THIS Q: IS SO EASY
THE RESULT OF NE SPINNING OBJECT IS
GRAVITY
TO TEST THIS TAKE A PAL OF WATER AND SWING IT OVER HEAD
