We can't be entirely certain, but the Earth's axial tilt may be related to the massive collision with another (now extinct) planet; a collision in which the Moon coalesced from the debris. The same collision would certainly have affected the rate of spin of the pre-Earth.
No, Earth's rotation on its axis does not cause eclipses. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking out the Sun's light. Lunar eclipses happen when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon.
Mercury
rotationis one complete spin on earths axis!!!
23.45 degrees
Earths rotation around its axis
orbit of the moon
no and yes
intersect
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
Quite complicated, IF this happens, the moon may crash into the earth or earths axis goes crazy and hits the sun, another planet, etc. The axis is super important with this question. Hope it helpd!

Neither. The Sun and the Moon both rotate around their own axis. See related questions.
1. Tilt of earths axis 2. Earths axis remains parallel throughout its yearly orbit.
There is no know axis of the moon because we have only been on one side of the moon
Callisto with a semi major axis of 1,882,700 km. See related question.

Yes the earths axis cases the earths its seasons. The tilt determines how much the content is exposed. The higher you will be exposed to less sun which causes it to be cold. Also which the bottom more closer you are to the bottom its cold. There is a imaginary line that splits the earth into two parts. Northern hemisphere and Southern hemisphere. This line is called the equator, everything close to this line is very tropical and hot. The earths axis is determined how far the moon is from the sun which is another question which there is answer.... hope this helped
