Line 7: tilt]] '''Earth's ~~rotatios~~rotation''' or '''Earth's spin''' is the [[rotation]] of planet [[Earth]] around its own [[Rotation around a fixed axis\|axis]], as well as changes in the [[orientation (geometry)\|orientation]] of the rotation axis in space. Earth rotates [[east]]ward, in [[prograde motion]]. As viewed from the northern [[polar star]] [[Polaris]], Earth turns [[counterclockwise]]. The [[North Pole]], also known as the Geographic North Pole or Terrestrial North Pole, is the point in the [[Northern Hemisphere]] where Earth's axis of rotation meets its surface. This point is distinct from Earth's [[North Magnetic Pole]]. The [[South Pole]] is the other point where Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface, in [[Antarctica]].
