The Earth's axis is tilted but it stays aligned in the same direction all the time. The direction is close to the star Polaris.
The Earth's axis does in fact change its direction very slowly, like a spinning top that is running down. This phenomenon is called precession, and the axis follows a circle, travelling round it once every 25,000 years.
What else can I help you with?
WHY DOES CLIMATE DIFFER FROM PLACE TO PLACE BECAUSE OF EARTHS SHAPE?
Because of Earth's shape and the fact that it spins with a tilted axis as it orbits the Sun.
How does the sun orbits oroung the moon?
The sun does not orbit around the moon. The earth orbits the sun and the earths moon (every planet has 1 or more moons) orbits earth.
What the sun and moon seem to move across the sky each day because of the earths what on its axis?
The sun and moon appear to move across the sky each day because of the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth spins from west to east, celestial bodies like the sun and moon seem to rise in the east and set in the west. This rotation creates the illusion of movement in the sky, even though the sun and moon are in their own orbits around the Earth.
Do the earth and moon revolve around the sun?
The Moon orbits the Earth. The Earth orbits around The Sun. The Earth revolves (spins) around it's own axis.
What is earths rotation on its axis and the sun shining on the earth creates?
day and night
Why equinoxes and solstices occur?
These happen because the axis of Earths spin in inclined at an angle from the normal of to the plane in which it orbits the Sun.
Why do equinoxes and solstices occur?
These happen because the axis of Earths spin in inclined at an angle from the normal of to the plane in which it orbits the Sun.
What is Earths sun?
Moon orbits around earth, which orbits around the sun.

What are the influences of the earths orbit around the sun in autumn and spring?
It is the tilting of the earth on its axis, as it orbits the sun, that brings the four seasons to either the northern hemisphere or the southern hemisphere in their turn.
Is the earths orbits around the the sun highly elliptical or almost circular?
The earths orbit around the sun is almost circular.
What are the two factors that cause the earth's seasons?
rotation of earth -earth is at a tilt so sometimes some parts get more sun then others rotation around the sun -earth will be at different distances from the sun as it rotates around
When Earth revolves around the sun it's axis is?
orbits
How does the sun orbits oroung the moon?
The sun does not orbit around the moon. The earth orbits the sun and the earths moon (every planet has 1 or more moons) orbits earth.

Why isn't there 2 eclipses every time the moon orbits the earth?
Because the sun, moon and earth are not always in alignment. The moon does not orbit the earth about the earths equator. The earths axis is tilted so the orbit around the sun does not always align with that of the moons orbit around the earth
Does mercury orbit or rotate?
It does both. It orbits the sun and rotates on its axis.
