In elementary school science class, we learned that the Earth has three main layers ... A magnetic field created by the outer core generates the spin and the mantle’s gravitational effects ...

Earth’s magnetic field, generated by swirling iron currents in the liquid outer core, is pulling at the inner core, causing it to spin. That impulse is countered by the mantle, the mucilaginous ...

The shortened days are caused by the Earth spinning faster than usual, Interesting Engineering reported. But why is the Earth spinning faster? Scientists are not completely certain, but they have ...

Even though Earth is always spinning, we can't feel it, and you probably take it for granted. But what would happen if it stopped? If Earth suddenly stopped spinning, it would be catastrophic.

Scientists at the National Physical Laboratory in England recorded the shortest day ever on June 29 and another shortened day on July 26, according to Popular Mechanics, a science and technology ...

Astronomers have discovered that a potentially hazardous near-Earth asteroid, 3200 Phaethon, has an unusual accelerating spin that could eventually change its trajectory through the solar system.
