Answer 2

Answer: Axis

Explanation:

Axis is the line around which the earth turns.

Just like a ball, the earth too spins or rotates around its axis. The earth rotates around an imaginary line which is called the axis of rotation. The axis on which the earth rotates is tilted. The axis of the earth passes through the  north which is called North pole and through south where it is called the South pole.

The earth spins in the same direction around its axis that is from west to east. This spinning movement is called rotation. The earth rotates around its axis once every day.
