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 ...

Earth's axis — the invisible line around which it spins — is bookended by the north and south poles. The axis tilts, and thus the pole shift, depending on how weight is distributed across Earth's ...

Scientists have raised concerns that the Earth's inner core may completely halt its rotation by 2040, according to a recent ...

A strange impact of the continuously warming climate is that colossal amounts of ice melting into the planet's oceans have played a prominent role in moving Earth's axis — the invisible line Earth ...

Earth’s Rotation Day 2026, observed on January 8, highlights how Earth’s constant rotation shapes day and night, climate, ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
