Deep inside Earth is a solid metal ball that rotates independently of our spinning planet, like a top whirling around inside a bigger top, shrouded in mystery. This inner core has intrigued ...

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 ...

Researchers carried out a pioneering experiment where they measured the effect of the rotation of Earth on quantum entangled photons. The work represents a significant achievement that pushes the ...

The Earth is always rotating. Despite some hair-brained theories that the Earth is flat, all you need to see evidence of the Earth's rotation and its roundness is to set up a camera and record the ...

Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the Sun, but once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds with respect to other distant stars. Scientists call this difference crucial to ...

While Earth spins in the same direction as the sun, that's not the case for every planet in the solar system. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

Researchers from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Curtin University in Australia are reshaping how you understand the rhythm of Earth’s deep past. Led by ...

Climate change is messing with time itself. The melting of polar ice due to global warming is affecting Earth’s rotation and could have an impact on precision timekeeping, according to a paper ...

For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to geothermal heat. Now a small group of physicists says Earth’s own magnetic ...
