The faraway exoplanet could help provide answers as to why there are hardly any planets with twice the diameter of Earth.

A significant body of research published in the journal Science highlights the persistent decline of soil moisture across various continents, driven primarily by human activities that disrupt the ...

First of all the rotation axis changes relative to the Earth’s surface which is referred to as polar motion. The main component of polar motion is the so-called Chandler wobble. Although it was ...

Researchers say it’s particularly worrisome for agriculture, and hope their work will strengthen efforts to reduce water ...

The changes in the Earth’s spin correlated with the changed distribution of water on the planet, with the wobble behaving as expected with less moisture in soil and more water in the oceans.

Paleoclimate and archaeological evidence tells us that, 11,000-5,000 years ago, the Earth's slow orbital 'wobble' transformed today's Sahara desert to a land covered with vegetation and lakes.

It reveals that the Earth's inner structure is less synchronized than we previously believed. The inner, solid part of Earth's core behaves like a spinning top; it rotates around its axis along ...

Soil moisture has declined more than 2,600 gigatonnes since 2000, making a greater contribution to sea level rise than ...

However, the Moon’s rotation and orbit evolve in a very complex way on its journey around the Earth, and there is ... and reconsiders the Moon’s ‘wobble’ (also called a physical libration ...
