The Earth is predicted to make its fastest rotations on July 9, July 10, July 22 and August 5, according to a Time and Date ...

But observations suggest that the atmosphere of Titan rotates with a different tilt altogether. “It seems that the angular momentum axis of the atmosphere is offset from that of the solid body.

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

The scientists discovered the Venusian atmosphere received angular momentum though thermal tides, which are variations in atmospheric pressure driven by solar heating near the planet's equator.

Thanks to atomic clocks (and all the worldly forces that influence them), scientists know that Earth's rotation has begun to ...

A thermally induced latitudinal-vertical circulation acts to homogenize the distribution of the angular momentum around the rotational axis.

The movement would scour the surface while ripping it apart and sending shards into the upper regions of the atmosphere and outer space. But what is angular momentum? Let's take a step back.

This circulation also transports the angular momentum, which corresponds to the strength of the circulating winds (yellow arrows), to decelerate the superrotation.
