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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
