How high must a satellite orbit to stay perfectly synchronized with Earth’s rotation? 🌍 This video determines the exact orbital altitude required for a geosynchronous orbit, clearly explaining the ...

That misalignment means the tidal bulges pull on the Moon gravitationally, which gradually speeds up the Moon’s orbit. When ...

When my colleagues and I send them out to explore our solar system, it's important for us to understand the 3D map of our ...

In the bigger picture, "down" could be defined as being below the plane of the solar system, which is known as the ecliptic.

Climate can change fast, even when the planet looks stable. Earth has flipped into new patterns within decades in the past.

Researchers find that shifts in Earth’s orbit can trigger abrupt climate changes, even in warm periods without ice sheets.

Study finds Mars helps pace Earth's ice ages through gravity. Remove Mars, and a major 2.4-million-year climate rhythm ...

Earth’s slow axial wobbles—known as precession cycles—do not just shape long-term climate trends. A new study led by ...

At the start of the year, Earth will quietly reach a milestone in its orbit around the sun. Known as perihelion, this is the moment when our planet is closer to the sun than at any other point in the ...

Loose cows prompt caution advisory for drivers on US 501 and surrounding roads Drivers are asked to use caution if driving on highway SC 22 between US 501 and SC 319 due to loose livestock in the area ...

Despite the winter solstice being the shortest day, the sun has been rising later in the weeks following it. This phenomenon is due to the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt, which causes a ...

Abstract: In a long-endurance underwater vehicle rotational inertial navigation system (RINS), the rotation strategy significantly impacts navigation accuracy. To address the limitations of the ...
