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

Thus, the Sun and the Moon do not work on the rotation axis. ... May 16, 2023 — A team of physicists has discovered a new role for a specific type of turbulence ...

This means that the points where the axis of rotation actually meets the Earth's surface move. Researchers can observe this polar motion, which, over a longer timeframe, comes to some ten meters ...

The planet’s rotation was completed 1.59 milliseconds short of a 24-hour day on June 29, breaking the record for the world’s shortest day in modern history.

You might not be able to feel Earth’s rotation, but it’s spinning on a north-south axis at a rate of about 1,000 miles per hour (1,609 kilometers per hour).

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 ...
