The world is hungry for renewable sources of energy, which has led some scientists to ask the question: what about the rotation of the Earth? A new study reports that researchers have successfully ...

That's how quickly Earth rotates on its axis, from West to East. And that rotation is largely responsible for the distribution of every desert, forest, and swamp on the planet. So, let's do a ...

Earth rotates on its axis every 23.9 hours, defining day and night for surface dwellers. This axis of rotation is tilted 23.4 degrees away from the plane of Earth's orbit around the sun ...

That is close to what physicists are saying. According to Nature, Today’s physicists have made the controversial argument that the energy of the Earth’s rotation through its own magnetic field can be ...

The planet Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. Earth spins at 1000 miles per hour. It takes 24 hours to complete a full rotation. It's daytime on the side of the Earth that faces the Sun and ...

Scientists have raised concerns that the Earth's inner core may completely halt its rotation by 2040, according to a recent paper published in Nature. The study suggests changes are occurring deep ...

This discovery, though modest, revives a scientific debate nearly two centuries old. The idea of generating electricity from Earth's rotation isn't new. Yet a team led by Christopher Chyba (Princeton ...

A controversial new study has claimed that it is possible to generate electricity using the Earth's rotation, its magnetic field, and a surprisingly simple device. If replicated, that could be ...
