The Earth has a rotation time of about 23 hours and 56 minutes. Mars has a rotation period of about 24 hours and 37 minutes.
So Mars rotates in roughly the same time as Earth.
A planet rotates on its axis, an imaginary line that runs from its North Pole to its South Pole. This rotation determines the length of a day on the planet.
The moon rotates about its axis once per 27.3 days, which is the same amount of time it takes to complete one orbit around Earth. This is why we only see one side of the moon from Earth.
A planet's axis is an imaginary line that runs through its center, connecting the North and South Poles. The tilt of this axis is responsible for the changing seasons on the planet as it orbits 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.
The Moon both revolves (orbits) around the Earth and rotates on its axis. It takes about 27.3 days for the Moon to make one orbit around the Earth and also about the same amount of time (27.3 days) for it to complete one rotation on its axis. This synchronous rotation is why we always see the same side of the Moon facing Earth.
Pretty much every planet has an axis, because an axis is what a planet rotates around. Any planet that rotates has an axis, and pretty much every planet known rotates.
The Earth rotates on its axis, which creates day and night as different parts of the planet face the sun.
Mars. Mars rotates once in about 1.026 Earth days.Mars.
A planet rotates on its axis a point which travels through the north and the south of the planet. On earth the axis is found at the north and south pole of the earth.

An axis of rotation is the axis around which any body rotates, or the line joining the North Pole and the South Pole about which the planet Earth rotates on a daily basis.
The Earth rotates on its axis, causing day and night as different parts of the planet are exposed to the Sun's light. This rotation takes about 24 hours to complete.

what does earth spin on besides a inmaginary line? ============== Planet Earth rotates on its axis.
How does the earth rotate on its axis??it rotates on
Mars. Its "sidereal day" (rotation period) lasts a little longer than Earth's, at 24hours 37min 22sec. The Earth rotates in about 23 hours 56min 4sec.
