Question
earths rotation
as earth revolves around the sun, it spins. the spin of an object around its axis is called rotation. the line around which an object rotates is the rotation axis. some spinning objects rotate on a rod or an axle, such as a wheel or a ceiling fan. earth rotates on an imaginary line through its center. however, earths rotation axis is not like that of a top. a tops rotation axis is perpendicular to the surface on which it spins. earths rotation axis is tilted.

read the diagram describe the orientation of earths rotation axis as it orbits the sun.
check your answer.
Earth's rotation axis is tilted and maintains a constant tilt - direction as Earth orbits the Sun. This tilt is approximately 23.5 degrees relative to the plane of Earth's orbit (the ecliptic). The orientation of the axis remains fixed in space as Earth moves around the Sun, which leads to the changing seasons.
