The Earth rotates on its axis. What is an axis?
Earth's axis is an invisible line, tilted at about 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular to its orbital plane.It goes through the Earth's poles. In general, an axis is any line that helps describe how some objects move. Imagine a string that goes right through the center of a ball (or any solid object). Pull the string taught and imagine spinning the object on the string. The string represents the part of the ball that is not really moving, or that is moving the least. In the case of objects moving in space, there is no physical string or other structure. The Earth naturally moves in a spinning fashion, around an imaginary line called the axis. In the case of a freely spinning body, the axis will contain the point known as the center of mass.
The earth revolves around the sun?
earth revolves on its axis to do change in day and night which is very important to make a human body survive
Why is bromine important to your body?

A small body of water on the ground after it rains?
It could be known as a puddle, or a pool of rain water.
What is spinning of a body on its axis?
That's "rotation".
Does the planet Mars have an axis?
Yes it does. Any body that is spinning has an axis. It turns out that *every* body in the Solar System is spinning. The axis is the line through the center of the body that connects the north pole to the south pole. HTH, Gdunge
What is the differnce between rotation and revolution?
Rotation is a body spinning on it's own axis and revolution is the body revolving around an external axis.
Movement of one body around another body?
Revolution. turning by itself at a point about its own axis is called rotation, turning around over other body's axis is called Revolution
What is axis rotation?
Axis of rotation is an imaginary line about which a turning body rotates. Or the center around something rotates.

What is known as rotation?
Any rigid body can rotate if it moves repeatedly about a fixed axis. If the axis is inside the body that is also called revolving.

What called turn on an axis?
Rotation is the term meaning turning a body part on its own axis.I find turning a body part on its own axis hard to explain. I can only give examples:Rotating your outstretched arm at the elbow or shoulder, say from palm up to palm down.Moving your head from facing front to facing left or right.
Moment of inertia of parallel axis?
This is known as parallel axes theorem. Statement: If IG be the moment of inertia of a body of mass M about an axis passing through its centre of gravity, then MI (I) of the same body about a parallel axis at a distance 'a' from the previous axis will be given as I = IG + M a2
