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.
What is the name of the imaginary line the moon rotates on?
the 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.
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.
Is an imaginary line from the earth to the moon a line a ray or a segment Why?
It is a segment in case you do not know what a segment is it is a line with two end points
The imaginary line around the middle of the earth?
the equator is the imaginary line around the earth.
Imaginary line that circles the middle of the earth?
The imaginary line that circles the middle of the earth is called the equator.

What imaginary line does the moon rotate around earth?
It's "axis" is probably the answer, but the question doesn't make complete sense.
What is the imaginary line that the earth spins on?
The imaginary line between the poles of the Earth around which the Earth spins is called the "axis of rotation".
Is the equator an imaginary line around which the earth rotates?
The equator is an imaginary line which indicates where the middle of the earth is and it goes around.
Earth spins around an imaginary line called?
Earth spins on a imaginary line called an Axis that's what it rotates on aswell. An axis has an angel for the Earth to spin on. An Equator is another imaginary line.
Is an imaginary line from the earth a line ray or segment?
it is a line
Imaginary line around which earth spins?
The imaginary line between the poles of the Earth around which the Earth spins is called the "axis of rotation".
What line is an imaginary line that circles the earth at 23.5o N latitude?
The imaginary line that circles the earth at 23.5o N is the Tropic of Cancer. This line is parallel with the equator.
What is the name of the imaginary line the moon rotates on?
the axis
