Question

What is the difference between Axis and orbit?

Answer 1

Answer:

Axis is an imaginary line about which a body rotates. Orbit is the regularly repeated elliptical course of a celestial object or spacecraft about a star or planet.

Answer 2

Answer:  

The difference between axis and orbit is that the former is an invented line on which the planet or star does its rotation, whereas the latter is the invented path that is covered by the planet or star surrounding a central body.  

Explanation:  

When our planet moves about its axis, the result is the alternate of nights and days and the time taken is 24 hours. The orbit of Earth is an elliptical pathway that surrounds Sun, the central star of the solar system. It takes Earth 365 days to complete one orbit around the Sun, and the result is a year. Earth’s movement about its axis is rotation, whereas its movement about the orbit is the revolution.
