Though we sum up a day as 24 hours and a year as 365 days, Earth's rotational and orbital speeds aren't exactly consistent. Instead, both fluctuate, swayed by atmospheric drag, tidal forces, changes ...
For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to ...
Aren’t the summer days supposed to be longer and the winter days shorter? Since when have things gone in reverse for the summertime? Since now, maybe? Starting today? Okay, here’s what’s going on.
THE average speed of rotation of the upper atmosphere can be determined by analysing small changes in the inclinations of satellite orbits to the equator. Previous studies 1,2 have indicated that, on ...
