Yes. The invisible "axis" lies vertical directly through the Earth. It's tilted though, at an angle. (Explains why it's colder at the poles.)

Yes, the Earth's rotation occurs on an imaginary line running through its North and South Poles called its axis. This axis is tilted at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun, leading to the changing seasons.
