Possibly four? 1 on its axis; 2 a wobble due to the moon rotating round us; 3 round the sun; 4 as part of the solar system round the milky way and 5? does the milky way rotate round anything?

The one on its axis, the one around the sun, and if our galaxy is spinning round another that would make three!! No wonder there are a lot of dizzy people!!

on it's axis, around the sun and yes, the solar system is orbiting the centre of our galaxy. Not sure if the galaxy orbits around any thing.

2 or 3 times - it turns itself, and it goes round the sun now the question is whether the whole lot go around something else?
