Let me rephrase this:
What are Earth’s movements? or How many movements does the earth have?

⇒ Although most people only perceive two, there are at least four visible motions of the Earth. The distance and duration have a significant impact on the motion detection. Alternatively a combination of scientific instruments can help in measuring these motions.

1. Spin: The night and day cycles are caused by the Earth's once-daily rotation about its North-South axis. On the planet's surface and out into portions of space, this motion is discernible. Earth appears as a blue dot from a distance, and its rotation is not apparent.

2. Orbital motion: Once a year, Earth orbits the Sun. Anywhere in the solar system may observe this. Even though Earth may not be visible from a great distance, our Sun is nevertheless affected by this. We now know how to find planets in our galaxy that are far away from the stars they circle. It seems to reason that aliens viewing our sun from a distance in space, even if they cannot directly see our planet, will be able to observe the slight wobble in our solar induced by the Earth orbit.

3. Precession: The rotational axis of Earth progressively rotates about the normal position because the axis of Earth's spin is inclined relative to its plane of orbit. Many individuals are unaware of this motion. Every 13000 years or so, due to this motion, the seasons of summer and winter swap. Therefore, the fact that Christmas falls at the start of winter for the US and Europe and the start of summer for Australia will be reversed in 13000 years. This motion is difficult to detect without sophisticated equipment since it occurs considerably more slowly than 1 and 2. Even further away in space, it will be more difficult to find.

4. Lunar Wobble: Because the moon revolves around the Earth, it actually pushes the two bodies into an orbit around their shared mass. Modest wobbles in Earth's course are caused by its small revolution around the Sun as it circles the planet. Again, sensitive detectors can see this motion within our solar system, but it is not particularly evident from the Earth's surface. However, the rotation of the moon around Earth is clearly visible from Earth, and if one were to grasp that the Earth is not the center of the universe, they would understand that the Earth is actually revolving around the moon.

5. Planetary alignments: As the Earth revolves around the Sun, the gravitational attraction of all the planets fluctuates over time, slightly wobbling the Earth's orbit. Although I don't believe there is enough certainty to support astrological forecasts, the alignment with each of these bodies is important in and of itself.

6. Galactic wobbles and translations: The Sun revolves around the galaxy's core, and our galaxy is heading in the direction of the Andromeda galaxy. The sun pulls its system, of which the earth is a member, across space as it moves. Therefore, those movements also affect how the Earth moves. Due to the scales of hundreds of millions of years involved, they are genuine but very difficult to observe.
