Earth is spinning faster than ever, and the result is a shortening of the length of our days. Since 2020, each year has ...
Our planet is going to spin a little faster on July 9, July 22, and August 5, thanks to the moon’s distance from the equator.
The rotations of the Earth have increased in speed since 2020, and as it spins faster than ever, the shortest day recorded ...
While it might not destroy all life on the planet, the reversal might result in some changes to Earth’s own rotation. A paper of the study was published Jan. 23 in the journal Nature Geoscience.
NPR's Ayesha Rascoe talks to John Vidale, professor of earth sciences at the University of Southern California, about new research suggesting the rotation of Earth's inner core may be slowing down.
Humans discovered the curvature and rotation of the Earth thousands of years ago, dating back to ancient Greece. Since then, scientists have only discovered more evidence to prove this is true ...
The rotation of the Earth's inner core may be reversing, scientists have found in a study that sheds new light on geological processes occurring deep within our planet.

The rotation of Earth’s inner core may have paused and it could even go into reverse, new research suggests.. The Earth is formed of the crust, the mantle and the inner and outer cores. The ...
Our rating: False. There is no evidence the rotation of Earth's inner core influences the climate. Research from an array of sources and methods shows human activities that release greenhouse ...
The Earth's inner core is a hot, dense and solid ball made of iron and nickel, located 3,200 miles (5,150 kilometers) below our feet. It is surrounded by a liquid iron-nickel outer core, encased ...
