FarOut, you're too much! haha
But....how can the earth rotate? Wouldn't we all slide off when it tipped?......
(The Earth rotates on its axis from West to East with its axis in the North/South direction).

The Earth does not rotate, all motion is relative. Therefore, it is the Galaxy which rotates around the Earth. See http://www.fixedearth.com/Assumptions.htm for more information.

West to east - hence sunrise in the east.

Relative to it's axis, yes... but relative to the sun and other reference points in the galaxy, I'm afraid is a bit difficult to discuss here
