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

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

Planet Earth is spinning a little faster today — resulting in one of the shortest days of the year. But the change will be so minuscule you won’t even notice. We’re talking even less time than the ...

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 ...

How many times have you said, “I wish the days were longer”? Well, NASA scientists say the construction of China’s Three ...

The most interesting thing in the sky for me last month was seeing the most intense hailstorm with the largest hail I have seen since moving to Durango over twenty-five years ago. I can assure you ...

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 ...

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.
