Detailed explanation-1: -An axis is an invisible line around which an object rotates, or spins. The points where an axis intersects with an object’s surface are the object’s North and South Poles. In this illustration, Earth’s axis is represented by the red line.
Detailed explanation-2: -The axis of the Earth is an imaginary line which joins north pole to south pole. It makes an angle of 66.5° with its orbital plane. Q. Rotation is the movement of the Earth around an imaginary axis passing through its poles.
