Earth is not a still point in space, but a planet hurtling through the cosmos at incredible speeds. This video breaks down the complex layers of our motion: the 66,000 mph orbit around the sun, the ...

Millimeter deviations from the expected wobble of the Earth’s axis are giving geophysicists clues to what happens 1,800 miles underground, at the boundary between the Earth’s mantle and its iron core.

That day, a Wednesday, was 1.59 milliseconds shorter than ever before. It happened because the Earth isn't perfectly spherical and can "wobble" on its axis. The Earth had its shortest ever day this ...

Changes in Earth's orbit that favored hotter conditions may have helped trigger a rapid global warming event 56 million years ago. Researchers found the shape of Earth's orbit, or eccentricity, and ...

Paleoclimate and archaeological evidence tells us that, 11,000-5,000 years ago, the Earth's slow orbital 'wobble' transformed today's Sahara desert to a land covered with vegetation and lakes. Aa Aa ...

On its own, Earth would shift toward another ice age in about 10,000 years, scientists say. But humanity's greenhouse gas emissions may have radically shifted the climate's trajectory. Credit: Matt ...

This article was originally featured on The Conversation. Spring, summer, fall and winter–the seasons on Earth change every few months, around the same time every year. It’s easy to take this cycle ...

Upcoming changes in the moon’s orbit could have devastating effects on the United States. According to a newly published report, researchers at NASA and the University of Hawaii predict a “wobble” in ...

On its own, Earth would shift toward another ice age in about 10,000 years, scientists say. But humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions may have radically shifted the climates trajectory. (Santa Barbara, ...

The Earth had its shortest ever day on June 29, 2022, a scientist said. That day, a Wednesday, was 1.59 milliseconds shorter than ever before. It happened because the Earth isn't perfectly spherical ...
