The imaginary line around which Earth rotates, it runs through Earth from pole to pole

Real World Example

Imagine trying to balance a spinning basketball on your fingertip. Just like how the basketball spins smoothly around your finger, Earth rotates around an imaginary line known as its axis, which runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. In this analogy, your fingertip represents Earth's axis, providing a stable center for rotation, allowing the basketball, or Earth, to spin consistently.
