Yes. When we're talking about the Earth,

'spin' and 'rotate' are the same thing.

No. Erosion could not have such a dramatic effect on Earth's rotation. The tilt on Earth's axis is likely a result of a collision with another planet early in Earth's history. This same collision formed the moon.


What is the direction of Pluto's rotation?

I'm not sure how to explain directions in space since they are all relative to something else. This is about the best I can do. If you mean Pluto's rotation around the Sun it orbits in the same direction as the Earth which is also the same as the Sun's rotation on its axis. If you mean Pluto's rotation on its axis it's opposite the rotation of the Earth and Sun on their axes.


How are the x-axis and y-axis the same in math?

IS upward rotation of the scapula the same as lateral rotation?

No, upward rotation of the scapula refers to movement where the scapula moves upward and rotates in an upward direction around the axis. Lateral rotation, on the other hand, is the rotation of a bone around its longitudinal axis. These are two different types of movements.
