Does the moon have an axis?
Yes, but not in the ordinary sense. The moon is gravitationally locked to the Earth, meaning it doesn't rotate independently along an imaginary line passing through its poles. As the Earth both rotates on its own axis and revolves around the Sun, the moon's orientation along that imaginary line changes with respect to the ecliptic every 27.3 days, so the moon can be said to rotate on that axis.
Why does the big dipper appear to change its position during the year?
Because the Earth spins on its axis and shows different parts of the sky.
How far is earths magnetic axis tilted from its geographic axis?
The Earth's magnetic field is tilted about 11.5 degrees from the Earth's axis of rotation (i.e. its geographic axis).
How long does earth take to orbit on its own axis?
earth takes 24hours to orbit on its axis

Why the polestar position does not change?
but it does as earth's axis tilts.
How does earth's motion relate to the length of a day?
the earth spins once on its axis during the time we call a day
Does sunlight follow earth's axis?
Sunlight does not follow the Earth's axis. The Earth's seasons are determined, in part, by the Sun's position to the Earth's axis.
What would be the effect on satellites now in orbit if earth were to not be rotating on its axis?
The earths rotation about its axis has no affect on the orbit of satellites about earth. Only their relative velocities and positions are relevant, not their orientation

Why does the sun change position in the sky?
because the earth rotates on its axis
Why does the suns position in the sky change?
because the earth rotates on its axis
When Earth is closest to the sun the northern hemisphere is in winter Given the effects of precession will this still be the case in 13000 years?
No; in 13,000 years, the precession of Earth will have changed the axis half a cycle (the full cycle is about 26,000 years), so that the position of the axis will be the opposite of what it is now.No; in 13,000 years, the precession of Earth will have changed the axis half a cycle (the full cycle is about 26,000 years), so that the position of the axis will be the opposite of what it is now.No; in 13,000 years, the precession of Earth will have changed the axis half a cycle (the full cycle is about 26,000 years), so that the position of the axis will be the opposite of what it is now.No; in 13,000 years, the precession of Earth will have changed the axis half a cycle (the full cycle is about 26,000 years), so that the position of the axis will be the opposite of what it is now.
Is the Earth spins on its axis in different directions?
Yes. It depends on the position in its orbit.
