The Earth stands alone in the solar system as a habitable world, as far as we know. But that doesn’t mean we don’t get visitors, most often in the form of (usually harmless) asteroids. Some even ...

Researchers are discussing 2025 PN7, a small celestial body that's following a similar orbital path to our planet's without being gravitationally tied to Earth ...

So the bottom line is that the gravity of the closer tidal bulge on the Earth is pulling the Moon forward, which increases ...

Because the Earth is doing the work of increasing the Moon's momentum, the Earth's rotation slows down in turn, as its ...

Tides come from a difference in gravity across an object. The force of gravity exerted by the Moon is about 4% stronger on the side of Earth that faces toward the Moon, compared to the opposite side ...
