The video tutorial explains the two main movements of Earth: rotation and translation. Rotation is the spinning of Earth around its axis, taking 24 hours to complete, resulting in day and night. Translation is Earth's orbit around the sun, taking 365 days and 6 hours, leading to leap years every four years. Both movements occur simultaneously.
