A new study has revealed that gravity's effect on Earth is constantly shaping the surface of our planet. When our planet formed, it did so by pulling dust and rock toward its gravitational field. As ...

Gravity is the reason things with mass or energy are attracted to each other. It is why apples fall toward the ground and planets orbit stars. Magnets attract some types of metals, but they can also ...

Gravity and motion make time pass faster on Mars than Earth, reshaping navigation, communication, and future crewed missions.

Legend has it that Isaac Newton had the moment of inspiration that would lead to his theory of gravity when, on a warm ...

There are several ways that surface gravity on Earth could change. We wouldn’t like most of them. If a mini black hole collided with Earth and didn’t pass straight through, it would sink to the planet ...

Bottom line: There's a well-known "hole" in Earth's gravity field just off India's coastline, known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL). A new study is providing a potential explanation for this ...

On Earth, knowing the time feels simple. Your phone pings the same second as a GPS satellite and an atomic clock in a lab.

Imagine for a moment that Earth suddenly shrank to the size of the Moon, while the Moon expanded to the size of Earth. How would life on our planet change? Could humans survive this dramatic cosmic ...
