Axis

Real World Example

Imagine trying to balance a spinning basketball on your fingertip. Just like how the basketball spins around your finger, Earth rotates around an imaginary line called its axis, which runs through the planet from the North Pole to the South Pole. In this analogy, your fingertip represents the Earth's axis, the steady point around which the basketball (or Earth) spins, maintaining its balance as it rotates smoothly in place.
