K2-360 is a newly found planetary system with a super-dense planet, likely the core of a former larger world, shaped by ...

An analysis of two decades of data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has provided fresh insights into the complex atmospheric changes on Uranus that are largely driven by the effects of the sun's ...

The rare phenomenon will start on Sunday, March 23, at 12:04 p.m. EDT (9:34 pm in India) and extend for a few days.

One of the most important consequences of Earth's axial tilt is the seasons. Seasons happen because the tilt points different parts of the planet toward the sun at different times of the year.

Scientists already knew that melting glaciers could change the planet’s rotation. But this study shows that groundwater ...

Apparently, it’s moving further away from the Earth each year. At an annual rate of 3.82 centimeters, the moon's creeping ...

Water redistribution on the planet affects its rotational pole. Like adding weight to a spinning top alters its motion, groundwater movement changes Earth’s tilt and rotation dynamics.
