What is the name of the imaginary line the moon rotates on?

The imaginary line that the moon rotates on is called its axis.


What is the imaginary line around the earth that makes it spin?

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.


Does the moon have a north and south pole?

Tides are greatest at places on earth where the moon (and the sun) pass directly over. At the right time of year, when the moon and sun basically follow the equator, there will be no tides at the poles. At other times there will be some, though very little tidal action at the poles.


What is the line of nodes of the Moon's orbit around the Earth?

The line of nodes of the Moon's orbit around the Earth is the imaginary line that connects the two points where the Moon's orbit intersects the plane of the Earth's orbit, known as the ecliptic. These points are called the ascending node, where the Moon moves from south to north of the ecliptic, and the descending node, where it moves from north to south. The line of nodes is significant in understanding eclipses, as solar and lunar eclipses occur when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align closely with this line. The orientation of the line of nodes shifts over time due to gravitational interactions, a phenomenon known as nodal precession.


When the earth the moon and the sun are in line what can occur?

When the Earth, Sun and Moon are in line an eclipse can occur.
