Following is a transcript of the video. Early in the history of our solar system, something mysteriously knocked Earth slightly off its axis. So today we tilt at 23.5 degrees. But what would ...

It's easy to take Earth's constant rotation for granted. Every 24 hours, our planet completes a full spin on its axis, giving ...

Earth takes just under 24 hours to complete one rotation. But the movement of its axis, and therefore its poles, could add milliseconds to that spin time, making our days a tiny bit longer.

For the Earth, the rotation axis points toward a bright star ... Most scientists now think its spin has been reversed over time by tidal forces involving the Sun and Venus’ thick atmosphere.

When you picture the Earth spinning in space you imagine it rotating ... There have been many theories as to why this axis drift is happening, but a new study published in Geophysical Research ...

On both of these days, the Earth completed its usual 24-hour ... shifting of the Earth’s axis as the planet is not perfectly spherical – could be linked to the spinning speeds.

That’s because the Earth is a sphere that constantly rotates on its axis:just like a basketball player spinning a ball on their finger – but at over 1,500 kilometres per hour! It takes 24 ...

Earth has four seasons, but do other planets in our solar system also have hot summer days and cold winter nights?

As well as the Earth spinning on its axis, at the same time it is also orbiting the Sun. The Earth takes 365 and a quarter days to make one complete orbit of the Sun. This is why a year on Earth ...

If an astronaut were to spin the fidget spinner on its axis, it would probably spin for ... much the fabric of space and time is warped by Earth and its movements in orbit. "The gyros were ...

The day has become 0.06 microseconds longer, and the Earth's axis has shifted by about 2 cm due to the Chinese Three Gorges dam. The colossal volume of water changed the distribution of the planet's ...
