Earth's axis is the imaginary line which goes through the north and south poles and around which Earth spins. It is inclined 66.5 degrees from Earth's orbital plane, which means that it is tilted 23.5 degrees from a vertical 90 degrees.
Generally, an axis is any imaginary or physical line that prescribes an object's movement. A taut string that goes through the center of a spinning ball would be an example of a physical axis. The string, as the axis, would represent the part of the ball that is not really moving or that is moving the least.
An axis also includes the point that is known as the center of gravity.
The Earth's axis is an imaginary line or shaft that the Earth looks to be turning around, like a meatball on a skewer. It runs more or less through the poles.

∙ 16y agoWhen you refer to the earth's axis, it is the same as referring to the earth's north/south pole. The axis is the imaginary line or pole that the earth rotates on, giving us daylight and nighttime periods. Think of the word "axle", which is similar in sound and in function. Every planet has an axis, and turns on it.

∙ 11y agowell first of all i think the earth axis because of god in the bible they said god created everything so the earth axis because of god

What a planet rotates on?
It rotates on its axis.
What is a planets axis?
A planet's axis is the imaginary line that the planet rotates around, like spinning top.
What is the imaginary line around which a planet spins?
The axis
Axis of rotation of this planet shows almost no tilt?
The planet with the axis of rotation which gives it almost no tilt is "Mercury". "Mercury's" axis of rotation has a tilt of 0 degrees. The planet "Jupiter" has very little tilt due to its axis of rotation at only 3 degrees.
Define orbit and axis of the planets?
The orbit of a planet is the path it takes on its journey around the sun. The axis is an imaginary line through the planet from pole to pole about which the planet revolves or spins.
What is the motions of a planet on its axis?
"Rotation" is the spinning of a planet on its axis.
What a planet rotates on?
It rotates on its axis.
How is a planet axis best described?
A planet axis is described as any other axis just with a planet spinning around it.
Which planets have an axis besides earth?
Pretty much every planet has an axis, because an axis is what a planet rotates around. Any planet that rotates has an axis, and pretty much every planet known rotates.
What is the difference between the rotation axis and the axis And the equator?
rotation is the spiinning of the planet on its axis and revoulution is the orbiting of the planet around the sun
What do you call a planet spinning on it's axis?
A planet spinning on it's axis is called rotation
Is planet Jupiter on an axis?
yes all planets have an axis
What plant has a titled axis?
The planet Uranus has a tilted axis
What does the planet rotate on?
an axis
Does mars has it own axis?
every planet has it own axis and that's how it spins. Its like an invisible line going though the planet and like Uranus has a straight axis and every other planet has a tilt. That tells when the planet is in summer and or winter.
How is the axis of planet Pluto tilted?
Dwarf planet Pluto has an extreme axis tilt, rather like the planet Uranus. The tilt is about 120 degrees.
What is a planets axis?
A planet's axis is the imaginary line that the planet rotates around, like spinning top.
