Answer: Earth's axis is an imaginary pole going right through the center of Earth from "top" to "bottom."
The axis of rotation of the Earth is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees away from vertical, perpendicular to the plane of our planet's orbit around the sun. The tilt of the Earth's axis is important, in that it governs the warming strength of the sun's energy.
