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 ...

The New Year would begin with our planet being closest to the sun, raising queries about the cold weather and no heat despite ...

Every second, the Earth spins at an incredible speed, completing a full rotation in just 24 hours. While this may seem ...

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 ...

Earth’s rotation is the continuous spinning of the planet around its axis, an imaginary line running from the North Pole to the South Pole. One full rotation takes about 24 hours, creating the cycle ...

If you have ever heard that Earth will soon start having 25-hour days, it might be right. The idea itself is not wrong.

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.

Differences in the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Moon will make July 9, July 22 and August 5 unusually short. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Earth tilted, but it had nothing to do with weird space phenomena and everything to do with how people are pumping groundwater and shipping it across the planet, a study found. The findings of a study ...

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.
