The axis of a planet is the imaginary pole of a planet in which it rotates. Say for example you have a globe. It is tilted slightly on an angle. That is the axis. The orbit is the place in which a body revolves around another, like all the planets to the sun, or Luna to Earth, etc.

An axis is an imaginary line that an object rotates around, like the Earth's axis that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. An orbit is the path an object takes as it revolves around another object, like the Earth's orbit around the Sun. In summary, an axis is the rotation point while an orbit is the path of movement around another object.
