Axis of rotation
This imaginary line runs directly through the object’s centre, from the north to the south poles.
Although we can’t feel the Earth spinning, it makes one complete turn, each day, around its own axis.

- Earth has an imaginary axis or a line, that starts at the top of the earth at the north pole and goes completely through Earth’s centre and ends at the south pole.
- although we can’t feel the Earth spinning, it makes one complete turn, each day at 24 hours, around its own axis.
