Is Earth rotating faster in 2021? We all know that in any given day, planet Earth completes one complete rotation — this is the way it's always been. As a result, we all sort of assume that the Earth rotates at about the same rate every year. In true 2021 fashion, however,scientist...
For the first time in history, world timekeepers may have to consider subtracting a second from our clocks in a few years because the planet is rotating a tad faster than it used to. Clocks may have to skip a second — called a "negative leap second" — around 2029, astudy in the j...
]Is the solar core rotating faster or slower than the envelope?] Solar Phys. , 166 , 1–16.Lazrek, M., Pantel, A., Fossat, E., Gelly, B., Schmider, F. X., Fierry-Fraillon, D., Grec, G., Loudagh, S., Ehgamberdiev, S., Khamitov, I., Hoeksema, J. T., Pallé, ...
Its RISE instrument would then bounce the signal back. When the signal returned, scientists would look for tiny changes in its frequency to determine how fast the planet is rotating. With data from Insight's first 900 Martian days, they were able to observe these tiny, subtle variations. ...
“The MCS really expands the capabilities and potential uses of commercial EVs for vehicle operators that need to get back on the road faster.” With the final MCS standard pending, NREL researchers have turned their attention to another critical barrier to widespread commercial EV adoption: ...
The magnetic field of the earth is created by the negatively charged shell of the earth rotating about the the positively charged but slower rotating Inner Sun, similar to the way a common dynamo creates a magnetic field. A dynamo consists of a centrally positioned stationary magnet called a ...
The interleaving learning strategy works very well, and science proves it. Check out these examples of interleaving and get started now.
Following Bornstein and colleagues [41,42], the eye-tracking system was calibrated for each infant individually by presenting a rotating red plus sign (1.27°) in the upper left and lower right corners of an otherwise uniform white field. Across two trials, the plus sign appeared. When infants...

Why is Earth bigger at the equator? Earth bulges at the equator and is flattened at the poles as the result of force caused by the planet's rotation. Earth's rotational speed is faster at the equator than at the poles, as is the case for all rotating spheres. Interestingly, the equato...
