Context. As a star evolves, the planet orbits change with time due to tidal interactions, stellar mass losses, friction and gravitational drag forces, mass accretion and evaporation on/by the planet.
Leonardo Testi and team investigate the initial conditions for planet formation in this special astronomy focus ...
Variable Sun–planet magnetosphere interactions. a, Polar projections of the typical terrestrial auroral morphology from IMAGE FUV/WIC data. b,c, Saturn's dynamic auroral morphology observed by the ...
The Coriolis effect impacts global patterns and currents, and its magnitude, relative to the magnitude of inertial forces, is expressed by the Rossby number. For over 100 years, scientists have ...
Visualizing our solar system is one of those third-eye treats that never grows old. The Sun and its gravitationally bound planets, asteroids, etc. are in constant relative motion, and thinking about ...
Time is out of joint on Venus. The planet’s thick air, which spins much faster than the solid globe, may push against the flanks of mountains and change Venus’ rotation rate. Computer simulations show ...
A network of powerful ground-based telescopes captured rare starspot-crossing events on TOI-3884b, revealing cooler patches on the star’s surface and rapid changes tied to its rotation. By combining ...
Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Venus’ rotation has always been weird. While it completes an orbit ...
WASHINGTON, D.C., September 28, 2018 -- The earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect, which deflects massive air and water flows toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in ...
