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 ...

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 ...

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

Before we start leveraging the Earth’s rotation as a source of energy, however, another lab will need to reproduce these results.

Can you tell us about how Earth’s axis and tilt shape its seasons? Earth rotates on its axis — this has an angle which determines the plane of our planet’s orbit around the sun.

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 ...

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.

Two studies funded by NASA have concluded that Earth’s rotation is slowing due to Earth’s melting polar ice caps.

The Earth's rotation pushes more meltwater toward the equator and away from polar regions. "This means that a shift in mass is taking place, and this is affecting the Earth's rotation," says ...

"Climate change is causing the Earth's axis of rotation to move, and it appears that the feedback from the conservation of angular momentum is also changing the dynamics of the Earth's core," Soja ...
