Because of Earth’s dynamic climate, winds and atmospheric pressure systems experience constant change. These fluctuations may affect how our planet rotates on its axis, according to NASA-funded ...

Climate change is altering the Earth to its literal core, new research suggests. As polar and glacial ice melts because of global warming, water that was once concentrated at the top and the bottom of ...

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 ...

As the polar ice caps melt, the Earth actually slows down, California scientists say. Less ice at the Earth's poles and more water weight spread around to other places are leading to the planet ...

Lisa Maynard-Atem, 47, can barely remember what she had for breakfast three days ago, let alone what happened last year. Halfway into 2025, we’ve had World War Three scares, deadly weather events, a ...

Our planet may have had a recent change of heart. Earth’s inner core may have temporarily stopped rotating relative to the mantle and surface, researchers report in the January 23 Nature Geoscience.

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 ...

If you feel like there's less time in the day, you're correct. Scientists recorded the shortest day on Earth since the invention of the atomic clock. Our planet's rotation measured in at 1.59 ...

We live on a spinning planet. Depending on latitude your individual speed varies from 0 mph at the poles to 1,040 mph (1,674 kph) at the equator. Here at 47 degrees north I'm madly spinning eastward ...

As confusing and changeable as the world can be, there are some comforting certainties: The sun rises in the east, summer follows spring, and a day lasts for 24 hours. Right? Unfortunately, not even ...
