Does it have something to do with the earth's magnetic field?

The earth's magnetic field has nothing to do with the spinning of the earth.According to the theory of conservation of angular momentum,the rotation(as well as the revolution around the sun) of the earth must have originated at the time it formed from a revolving disk of hot gases known as the solar nebula.It continues to spin as there is no frictional force in the space to stop it.

The axis is not really there. The equatorial line is not really there either. The Earth spins because it has kinetic energy from the Big Bang and the banging of stars. A ball only has an axis when it's spinning. All objects float in space.

Any object that spins will continue to spin unless stopped by some outside force. In the case of a top spinning on the ground, for example, friction stops it. Since there is no friction in space, the earth can't stop spinning.

the fast answer on your question is as a results of conservation of power and mass, that are interchangeable, and momentum EARTH grow to be no longer CREATED via the huge BANG. The photograph voltaic gadget formed greater effective than 9 billion years AFTER the huge Bang. The solar is a third technology famous individual. The Earth is spinning because of the fact of conservation of momentum from the formation of the photograph voltaic gadget and from the momentum of diverse impacts of celestial physique as and after the Earth grow to be formed. throughout the time of the Devonian geologic epoch, the day grow to be in common terms 14 hours and 20 minutes long, and it ought to have been in common terms particularly longer than 6 hours precise after a celestial physique with the mass of Mars impacted Earth at a glancing perspective , and diverse of the ejecta gradually coalesced to from the Moon. Earth grow to be no longer made via the huge Bang .

The Earth built up from dust particles colliding together.
Energy would also be added, incrementally.
You know If you push something in space, It continues, forever. Imagine pushing the earth,,from opposite sides.(Like spinning a coin),`

Agree with the 1st answerer. :)
The Earth spins on its axis because of conservation of angular momentum.

We can't tell you the truth, cause then one of these political loonies will try and read it, and collect a Nobel prize for it next.
