On Earth, water is so intertwined with life that our search for life on other worlds is essentially a search for water. When ...

A new study has indicated that Earth's core is rotating at a different speed compared to the rest of the planet. Moreover, the rotation speed is slowing down continuously ...

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 ...

The "flat and non-rotating" terminology found in NASA papers is a common technique in aerospace engineering to generalize mathematic equations.

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 ...

The inner Earth is a mysterious place, and now scientists may have uncovered a strange new secret. According to a new study, the Earth’s inner core may have recently stopped rotating, relative ...

The Earth is rotating faster than its usual speed. Recently, scientists recorded Earth's full spin was 1.50 milliseconds shorter than 24 hours. On July 26, Earth broke its June record when the ...

The inner core of the Earth may have stopped rotating and changed its spinning direction, according to a study.

EARTH’S inner core is rotating more slowly and has changed direction, experts have confirmed. The inner core is a solid iron-nickel sphere around the size of the Moon. It floats 3,000 miles b… ...

Their findings indicate that the inner core was rotating faster than the Earth's mantle and surface—in an eastward direction relative to the surface—from the early 1970s to around 2009.

Several studies by scientists have suggested that the Earth's core has slowed down so much that it is now moving in reverse direction.
