What is it called when the earth makes a complete turn on the axis?

The Earth doesn't wobble around its rotation axis. The rotation axis itself rotates,
so that the Earth's poles trace around a 23.5-degree circle in the sky, every 26,000
years. The term that describes it is "precession".

∙ 14y agoThe axis is the imaginary line that would go through both earth's poles. Imagine earth's orbit around the sun as a disc. The orbit forms the edges of the disc. That is what is meant by the "plane" of our orbit around the sun. The earth is pointed away from the sun in the Northern summer and away from it in the Northern winter.

Each spin of the earth is called a rotation of the earth on it's axis.
How many days does the earth spin on its axis?
it never stops spining. One complete rotation of the earth on its axis is called ONE DAY
What is one complete spin on the earth's axis known as?
one complete on the earth's axis is known as a rotation
What makes a day the length it is?

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.
