On July 9, 2025, scientists at the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) reported that the Earth ...

The science behind why the Earth will spin just a little bit faster on July 9, July 22, and August 5, this year.

Humans have changed the Earth’s axis — and our GPS and satellite navigation systems need it to work This has "very important practical implications" an author of a new study on groundwater ...

The Earth has lost enough groundwater to thirsty humans to measurably tilt the planet’s axis of rotation. The net water lost from underground reservoirs between 1993 and 2010 is estimated to be ...

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.

New research shows that persistent groundwater extraction over more than a decade has shifted the axis on which our planet rotates.

In 2011, A Magnitude 9.0 Earthquake Shifted The Planet's Axis And Shortened Earth's Days Under the wrong circumstances, earthquakes can alter the length of Earth's days.

Atomic clocks, combined with precise astronomical measurements, have revealed that the length of a day is suddenly getting longer, and scientists don’t know why. This has critical impacts not just on ...
