Recent scientific findings have revealed a startling shift in our planet’s equilibrium. The Earth’s axis has tilted by an ...

Pumping groundwater appears to have a greater consequence than ever previously thought. But now—thanks to a study published ...

The Mechanics of Earth's Spin Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the Sun, but once every 23 hours, 56 ...

In an eye-opening study, researchers have discovered that human activities, particularly groundwater pumping, are causing a significant shift in Earth's physical orientation. The findings, now making ...

Glacial melting due to global warming is likely the cause of a shift in the movement of the poles that occurred in the 1990s. The locations of the North and South poles aren’t static, unchanging spots ...

A typical desk globe is designed to be a geometric sphere and to rotate smoothly when you spin it. Our actual planet is far less perfect — in both shape and in rotation. Earth is not a perfect sphere.

The woman I was talking to seemed very sure of her facts, but they didn’t add up to me. She declared that the axis of the Earth had shifted 6 degrees, and somehow it was the fault of ...

Any planet, in our own solar system or beyond, is shaped by a certain set of influences: the whirlwind circumstances of its formation, the contents of its deep interiors, other natural phenomena that ...

For the first time, researchers at ETH Zurich have been able to fully explain the various causes of long-term polar motion in the most comprehensive modeling to date, using AI methods. Their model and ...

Earth's orbit is an ellipse, not a perfect circle. Earth's distance from the Sun varies by about 3 million miles throughout the year. Earth's orbit's semimajor axis is approximately 93 million miles.

The results of the 250-day experiment were published in the renowned scientific journal Science Advances. Lead author Prof. K. Ulrich Schreiber from the TUM Institute of Engineering for Astronomical ...
