In a controversial experiment, physicists investigated whether we could harness the Earth's rotational energy to generate electricity.

In theory, as Earth spins through its magnetic field, any conductive material placed on its surface should experience a force ...

The rings, believed to be made up of rocky and icy chunks that could be as large as a house, help separate Saturn from other planets in our solar system. They’re also about to perform a vanishing ...

Thursday marks the vernal equinox, or the first day of spring, in the northern hemisphere — even if the weather in Michigan ...

"Equinox" translates to "equal night" but most places in the Northern Hemisphere will see more than 12 hours of daylight for ...

Using a unique field site in the Negev, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev geologists have presented the first-ever ...

In order to save the planet for future habitability, humans need to curtail emissions immediately—after all, the sea sponges are telling us so. Earth’s Core Might Contain Hidden Helium ...

Researchers now believe they have untangled how these factors influence ice sheet behavior. Shifts in Earth’s tilt and wobble Earth’s axis is tilted at a 23.5-degree angle, affecting how much sunlight ...

And the position of that oval in space shifts a little with each orbit; we call that orbital precession. Finally, the tilt of Earth's rotational axis, a property known as obliquity, changes as it ...

If sold after 1 year from purchase date, long term capital gain tax will be applicable. Current tax rate is 12.5%, if your total long term capital gain exceeds 1.25 lakh. Any cess/surcharge is not ...

An international team, including researchers from UC Santa Barbara, made their prediction based on a new interpretation of the small changes in Earth’s orbit of the sun, which lead to massive shifts ...

They were able to match these changes with small cyclical variations in the shape of Earth's orbit of the sun, its wobble, and the angle at which its axis is tilted. "We found a predictable ...
