The Earth is picking up speed, and it’s forcing scientists and timekeepers to consider an unprecedented move. According to ...

Since 2020, Earth has been rotating unusually fast on its axis, leading scientists to consider whether we should correct for ...

July 22 will be the second-shortest day of the year, as Earth completes a full rotation in less time than usual.

Another culprit could be powerful earthquakes knocking the Earth off its already tilted axis. In 2011, scientists found that a 9.0 earthquake in Japan may have been ferocious enough to shorten days on ...

Earth has therefore tilted it on its axis at a rate of about 1.7 inches (4.3 centimetres) a year, giving a total of 78.5 centimetres, during the 18-year study period.

And this is what has tilted it on its axis at a rate of about 1.7 inches (4.3 centimetres) a year, giving a total of 78.5 centimetres, during the 18-year study period.

Planet Earth will spin a little faster on three separate days this summer, starting on July 9. This will technically result ...

Since Kepler's laws of motion dictate that celestial bodies orbit more slowly when farther from the sun, we are now moving at ...

Pumping an unimaginable amount of groundwater out of the earth is why Earth has tilted over two dozen degrees, a study found. Earth tilted 31.5 inches, a study finds. So whose fault is that?

The reason we have seasonal weather at all is because the Earth is tilted on its axis by 23.5 degrees. Winter happens when the northern hemisphere is tilted its furthest away from the sun.

The seasons are caused by the tilt of Earth's axis in relation to the sun, and the direction of this tilt never changes. But as the Earth orbits around the sun, different parts of the planet are ...
