It is the "sidereal day" or "sidereal period". The word "sidereal" means relating
to the distant stars. That's because a planet's spin is measured with reference to the "fixed" or distant stars.

Earth spins around an imaginary line called?
Earth spins on a imaginary line called an Axis that's what it rotates on aswell. An axis has an angel for the Earth to spin on. An Equator is another imaginary line.
What is the lmaginary line around which the earth spins?
That's called the axis.
What does the earth rotate or spin on?
Its axis The earth rotates around its axis - an imaginary line running from the North Pole through the centre of the earth to the South Pole. It rotates around this line once every day. it is this rotation which causes day and night. axis
WHICH SIDE the axis of the earth is tilted?
The Earth spins about its axis. That defines the Earth's axis. It is the axis of spin that is tilted. If the Earth were not spinning it would not have an axis.
The earth spins on its what?
On its AXIS. The axis if an imaginary line that strikes through the Earth from North Pole to South Pole through the centre of the Earth.
What is the imaginary line that the earth spins on?
The imaginary line between the poles of the Earth around which the Earth spins is called the "axis of rotation".
What is meant by the inclination of The Earth's Axis?
the earth spins on an imaginary line called axis.
Imaginary line around which earth spins?
The imaginary line between the poles of the Earth around which the Earth spins is called the "axis of rotation".
Earth spins on its?
If you mean earth spins in its? Then the answer is Earth spins on its axis, while also orbiting the Sun.
What is it called when the earth spins on its own axis?
equinox
Earth spins around an imaginary line called?
Earth spins on a imaginary line called an Axis that's what it rotates on aswell. An axis has an angel for the Earth to spin on. An Equator is another imaginary line.
What is the importance of the inclination of the earth axis?
This titled position of the earths axis is known as inclination of the earths axis. The earth's rotation axis makes an angle of about 66.5 degrees with the plane of its orbit around the sun, or about 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular to the ecliptic plane.
What do you call the imaginary line that the earth spins on?
It is called Axis
What is meant by the Inclination of the Earths Axis?
the earth spins on an imaginary line called axis.
What does the earth spins on?
the earth spins on an axis, which is carried over by conservation of angular momentum when the earth was created
What is invisible line or pole about which the earth spins or rotates?
Its called the earth's axis
What is the lmaginary line around which the earth spins?
That's called the axis.
