Melting ice at the poles due to climate change may impact the Earth's spin, altering our global clock. According to a new paper in the journal Nature, the "leap second" due to be added to Coordinated ...

Learn how to calculate the angular velocity required to create artificial gravity in a rotating system. This video explains the physics behind centripetal acceleration, rotation radius, and angular ...

Global warming has slightly slowed the Earth’s rotation — and it could affect how we measure time. A study published Wednesday found that the melting of polar ice — an accelerating trend driven ...

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 ...

The study of polar motion and Earth's rotation dynamics encompasses the investigation of subtle shifts in the orientation of the planet's rotation axis relative to its crust. These motions are ...
