Trending News: Earth's rotation is currently speeding up, leading to slightly shorter days, a trend that began around 2020. Scientists predict that a leap second may ...

While the Earth’s rotation changes over cosmic timescales, it also fluctuates on daily ones. We all know that a day lasts 24 hours, or 86,400 seconds, but that’s not perfectly accurate.

For nearly two centuries, scientists have speculated whether the Earth's rotation could be tapped as a source of electricity.

We all know that human activity is causing our planet to warm up at an unprecedented rate, but you probably didn’t know that it’s also changing the speed and shape of the planet as well? And ...

Earth's rotation is slowing down, making each day longer than before—Here's why it's happening A team of researchers has linked Earth's slowing rotation to the Great Oxidation Event, which made ...

Researchers have created a new device that can passively generate electricity using the Earth's rotation.

Indian astronomer Dorje Angchuk has captured a breathtaking time-lapse video that showcases the Earth's rotation against the serene landscape of Ladakh.

Ever since its formation around 4.5 billion years ago, Earth's rotation has been gradually slowing down, and its days have gotten progressively longer as a result. While Earth's slowdown is not ...

Every year, January 8 marks Earth Rotation Day, a lesser-known but scientifically significant day that celebrates the rotation of our planet on its axis. This fundamental phenomenon is not only ...

Why Has Earth's Rotation Tilted By Nearly 80 Centimeters? Research has shown that decades of groundwater pumping has had significant impacts on the planet's motion.

Earth has therefore tilted it on its axis at a rate of about 1.7 inches (4.3 centimetres) a year, giving a total of 78.5 centimetres, during the 18-year study period.
