Humans have been identified as the culprits behind a startling shift in Earth's axis by almost 31.5 inches (nearly 80cm), a recent study reveals. Climate change researchers uncovered this alarming ...

Because Earth is tilted far enough on its axis that as the planet rotates, Utqiagvik never leaves direct sunlight. On the other hand, the contiguous US receives a max of 17 hours a day ...

For most of the year, the Earth’s axis is tilted either toward or away from the sun. That means the sun’s warmth and light fall unequally on the northern and southern halves of the planet.

Two things drive this all-important seasonal shuffle: Earth's tilted axis and the planet's orbit around the sun. How the summer solstice works The summer solstice is the point when the sun will ...

The Three Gorges Dam reportedly moves Earth’s poles by two centimeters, a shift slight yet detectable by scientists, showing how our constructions physically move the planet’s axis.
