For thousands of years, scientists have known that the Earth is tilted on its axis. In addition to this steady tilt of 23.5 ...

The Earth’s axis of rotation is shifting due to climate change and movements in the Earth’s interior. The corresponding polar motion is triggered by shifts in mass such as the melting of polar ice ...

The scientists hypothesized that the Earth's solid core may stop and change its direction of rotation approximately every 35 years, with a complete cycle of about 70 years. Their analysis ...

The hours and minutes that dictate our days are determined by Earth’s rotation. But that rotation is not constant; it can change ever so slightly, depending on what’s happening on Earth’s ...

"Explains why we have climate change too." It was shared over 200 times in 10 days. There is no evidence the rotation of Earth's inner core influences the climate. Research from an array of ...

However, as the Earth's rotation sometimes varies ... further issues with global timekeeping in the future as climate change proceeds. Do you have a tip on a science story that Newsweek should ...

is shifting more mass toward Earth’s waistline. And that extra bulge is slowing the planet’s rotation, geophysicist Duncan Agnew reports online March 27 in Nature. That climate change–driven ...

Climate change is messing with time itself. The melting of polar ice due to global warming is affecting Earth’s rotation and could have an impact on precision timekeeping, according to a paper ...

Climate change is causing widespread global impacts, but now scientists are finding that it's altering the very planet itself. Earth's rotation is slowing down, extending the length of a day ever ...

This extra slowing of Earth’s rotation is likely to stay for at least the next few decades, even if humans’ effect on the climate slows. “Climate change is melting so much ice that we can ...

and this same law also governs the Earth's rotation. If the Earth turns more slowly, the days get longer. Climate change is therefore also altering the length of the day on Earth, albeit only ...
