What Is Earth's Tilt? It's a well-known fact that Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of about 23.5 degrees, which is a reason ...

For thousands of years, scientists have known that the Earth is tilted on its axis. In addition to this steady tilt of 23.5 ...

Earth has four seasons, but do other planets in our solar system also have hot summer days and cold winter nights?

As Earth orbits the Sun, sunlight strikes the surface at varying angles because of the planet’s tilt. This creates seasons. There’s an old saying, “As the days lengthen, the cold strengthens.” ...

Earth’s tilt recently made headlines when scientists revealed it had deviated 31.5 inches. That data came from a June study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, that found ...

The study found that the Earth tilted over two dozen inches in 17 years, but the cause isn't a mysterious asteroid impact, the sun's gravity, or solar flares. The planet continuing to tilt is ...

And it could even affect climate. Earth's tilt has changed by 31.5 inches (80 centimeters) between 1993 and 2010 because of the amount of groundwater humans have pumped from the planet's interior.

Rampant removal of groundwater for drinking and irrigation has altered the distribution of water on Earth enough to shift the planet’s tilt, according to a sweeping new study. The finding ...

When humans pump groundwater, it has a substantial impact on the tilt of Earth’s rotation. Additionally, a study documents just how much of an influence groundwater pumping has on climate change.
