The axis just defines their rotation. It is relative to spin, so if a body does not spin, it has no axis. Kind of an imaginary line, like the equator. It is used for reference. Also an object that is not round and symmetrical and has a length and a width can also be referenced by these dimensions. The Longitudinal axis is usually an axis through the longest dimension of the body.
