Earth's rotation is slowing down, making each day longer than before—Here's why it's happening A team of researchers has linked Earth's slowing rotation to the Great Oxidation Event, ...

Ever since its formation around 4.5 billion years ago, Earth's rotation has been gradually slowing down, and its days have gotten progressively longer as a result. While Earth's slowdown is not ...

Whether electricity can be generated using Earth's rotation and magnetic field has been debated since 19th-century physicist Michael Faraday's work on electromagnetism. The general consensus is ...

Scientists Turned the Earth’s Rotation Into 17 Microvolts of Electricity. That Could Be Revolutionary. In trying to solve Earth’s climate problem, the answer might be Earth itself.

A trio of physicists from Princeton University, CIT's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Spectral Sensor Solutions, all in the U.S., is proposing the possibility of generating electricity using energy ...

Indian astronomer Dorje Angchuk captures stunning 24-hour time-lapse video of Earth's rotation from Ladakh's remote landscapes, showcasing the planet's smooth transition between day and night.

Ever since its formation around 4.5 billion years ago, Earth's rotation has been gradually slowing down, and its days have gotten progressively longer as a result.

NASA reports that the construction and operation of China's Three Gorges Dam have slightly slowed Earth's rotation by 0.06 microseconds. This effect is due to the redistribution of water mass ...

This may sound trivial, but over the last 20 years alone, the pumping of groundwater – mostly for drinking – has caused Earth’s rotation to tilt eastwards by nearly 80 centimeters (31.5 ...

A joint study of geological data by Chinese and foreign researchers has revealed that the Earth's rotation decelerated in a step-like pattern 700 million to 200 million years ago.

The rotation of the Earth and its orientation are being disrupted by human-induced climate change, according to new research. The changes might seem imperceptible, but they could lead to significant ...

The impact of melting ice could eventually even outpace the Moon's effects on Earth's rotation. The science is clear about global temperatures—they're going up, and human activities are to blame.
