Earth’s rotation is slowing as melting ice moves across the planet. New research says it’s driven by climate change and is unmatched over the past 3.6 million years.

For the first time, the rotation of a disk where planets are born has been directly observed by mapping the emission of dust ...

Venus' bizarre and extraordinarily slow retrograde rotation on its axis has long puzzled planetary scientists. But in a new paper presented at the recent European Geosciences Union General Assembly in ...

Scientists announced Monday that Earth is rotating slightly faster than normal, resulting in what is expected to become the second-shortest day ever recorded since precise atomic timekeeping began.

The same happens when they're annihilated. The temperature increase is due to how much dark matter enters the planet, and the energy that's input can also accelerate the planet's rotation period.

The internal, infernal machinations of our planet may be way more complex than we suspected. A new, detailed probe of Earth's heart reveals that the rotating inner core doesn't just change in rotation ...

For more than 40 years, planetary scientists believed they knew how long a day on Saturn lasted. They were listening to the wrong clock. A study published in May 2026 in the Journal of Geophysical ...

A network of powerful ground-based telescopes captured rare starspot-crossing events on TOI-3884b, revealing cooler patches on the star’s surface and rapid changes tied to its rotation. By combining ...
