All four statements about Earth contain inaccuracies:

A. **Earth orbits the sun in less than 365 days.**
- This statement is false. Earth takes approximately 365.25 days to complete one orbit around the Sun, which is why we have a leap year every four years to account for that extra quarter of a day.

B. **Earth's orbit is a perfect circle.**
- This statement is false. Earth's orbit is an ellipse, which means it is slightly oval-shaped rather than a perfect circle.

C. **Earth does not tilt on its axis.**
- This statement is false. Earth has a tilt of approximately 23.5 degrees on its axis, which is responsible for the changing seasons.

D. **Earth has two moons.**
- This statement is false. Earth has one natural moon, known simply as "the Moon." There are some transient satellite objects that may orbit Earth temporarily, but they are not classified as moons.

In summary, all statements A, B, C, and D are incorrect.
