Describe Earth's rotation in terms of its axis and length of time to rotate.
Earth's axis has never pointed in the same direction. It slowly traces a circle every 26 000 years. The tilt of the earth's axis isn't usually pointing straight up. It traces a circle and it tends to wobble as it spins. The angle of earth's axis is always constant. The direction in which it points slowly changes, and this is called precession. Earth takes 24 h to complete one full rotation about its axis, which is tilted 23.5.
I've added more information in here, but if you have something that I haven't added in here, then please tell me about it, thanks

thanks for the sites, same response as above
Earth rotates about its north south axis every 24 hours.
Earth revolves around the sun every year.
As you said the tilt of the earth axis does change, but over thousands of years and I doubt if that is what is being asked.
