The Earth has always had a tilt to its axis of 23.5 degrees, which is why we have seasons and daylight saving time. But if you've felt a bit off-balance, you can blame your fellow humans: The pumping ...

Humans have been identified as the culprits behind a startling shift in Earth's axis by almost 31.5 inches (nearly 80cm), a recent study reveals. Climate change researchers uncovered this alarming ...

Following is a transcript of the video. Early in the history of our solar system, something mysteriously knocked Earth slightly off its axis. So today we tilt at 23.5 degrees. But what would ...

For decades, Earth’s magnetic north pole has been slowly drifting across the Arctic, but recent shifts in its path have caught the attention of scientists—and those who rely on precise navigation ...

Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps moving. Here’s what to know.

Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.

Exactly where the axis of rotation meets Earth’s surface moves by about 30 feet (10 meters) per hundred years. According to the paper, that’s down to both the melting of the ice caps and the m ...

The answer lies not in our distance from the sun but in the tilt of the Earth’s axis. During January, the northern hemisphere tilts away from the sun, leading to colder temperatures and shorter ...
