The Earths axis

The Earths axis is an imaginary line that extends from the physical North pole through the Earth to the physical South pole. Physical poles not magnetic poles. Why the axis is important to us is because the Earth is tilted 23 degrees on this axis in relation to the plane of rotation around the Sun, causing us to experience the different season due to the angle of the suns rays impacting the Earth during the year.
