Climate change shifts Earth's rotation due to melting polar ice

India Today — July 17, 2024, 08:00 AM UTC

Summary: Climate change is affecting Earth's rotation and axis, as per ETH Zurich research. Melting polar ice is shifting the planet's mass distribution, slowing its rotation, and lengthening days. Human-induced climate change could surpass the moon's influence on Earth's rotation. The study combines physical laws and AI to model axis movements. These changes impact space navigation accuracy. Understanding and accounting for these shifts are crucial for precise landings on other planets.
