AI overview
Earth spins on an imaginary line called its axis, completing one full rotation approximately every 24 hours. This rotation is why we experience day and night, and it also influences weather patterns, ocean currents, and the apparent movement of stars across the sky.

地球自轉（zhuàn）是固體地球繞著自己的軸轉動，方向是由西向東；所以地球是由西至東自轉的。從天球的北極點鳥瞰，地球自轉是逆時針方向旋轉；从南极点上空看是顺时针方向旋转。
