The spin of the Earth is residual from the formation of the solar system. The original "whirlpools" of matter started to spin as they orbited the sun due to the Coriolis force acting on them. This caused them to spin around the planets. his spin stayed after the planets firmed up into discrete balls
earth's axis
this is a stupid question. the earth revoles around the sun.

There is no such line. The imaginary line through its centre is the axis, which the Earth rotates around; the imaginary line an equal distance from the poles is the equator. Neither make it spin - that is caused by momentum from the planet's formation.
Well the mantle and core spin at a faster rate which makes the magnetic field.
what does earth spin on besides a inmaginary line? ============== Planet Earth rotates on its axis.
Earth spins on its axis for about 365/366 times while it completes one journey.
No, it takes 24 hours for the Earth to spin.
Each spin of the earth is called a rotation of the earth on it's axis.
The rotation of the planet on its axis of spin. The spin is responsible for the day and the night.
The Earth spins on an axis.
the earth spinds around the sun because gravity makes it orbit
