Parallelism of Axis
The earth is constantly rotating as it revolves about the sun. It rotates on an imaginary axis. The earth's axis always points in one direction. Thus as the earth revolves about the sun, the position of the axis at any one time is always parallel to the position it occupied at any previous time. This phenomenon is called parallelism of axis.
It always points to the pole star.
