The rotation of the Earth's inner core may be reversing, scientists have found in a study that sheds new light on geological processes occurring deep within our planet. The results of the research, ...

The heart of our planet has been spinning unusually slowly for the past 14 years, new research confirms. And if this mysterious trend continues, it could potentially lengthen Earth's days — though the ...

Humans discovered the curvature and rotation of the Earth thousands of years ago, dating back to ancient Greece. Since then, scientists have only discovered more evidence to prove this is true – ...

We literally owe the days of our lives to the rotation of the Earth. As it spins around its axle, our planet, and everything on it, travels at an average speed of a little over 1,000 miles per hour (1 ...

Aren’t the summer days supposed to be longer and the winter days shorter? Since when have things gone in reverse for the summertime? Since now, maybe? Starting today? Okay, here’s what’s going on.

Earth takes 24 hours to complete a full rotation in a standard day, equal to exactly 86,400 seconds. July 9 was the first of three days in which a millisecond or more could be shaved off the clock on ...

The Earth is predicted to increase its rotation speed in July and August, once again bucking the trend of a slower rotation over time. Though there are clear reasons for the increased rotational speed ...

The speed of Earth's rotation is about 1,000 miles per hour relative to its axis. Your exact speed of rotation due to Earth's spin depends on your latitude. The farther you are from the equator, the ...

A Dec. 5 Instagram post (direct link, archive link) shows a TikTok in which a man reads and shows screenshots from various NASA reports that reference a "flat, non-rotating earth" model. "NASA ...

A new study confirms that Earth's inner core has been rotating more slowly than usual since 2010. This mysterious "backtracking" could also end up slightly altering the planet's overall rotation, ...
