The earth also revolves around the sun (once per year) in a very slightly eliptical orbit. This rotation will also (eventually) slow and the earth will spiral into ever-closer orbits.
Actually, the earth is moving
away from the Sun, but really, really slowly.
(Yeah, it's a minor nit, but I noticed and it's late and I'm bored and...)
