Earth Has Tilted 31.5 Inches. That Shouldn't Happen.
tilted 31.5 inches...? Tf are you talking about. How do you rotate something by a linear distance...
The linear travel of a point on its surface as a result of the rotation.
It's like saying you have a friend who lives 15 minutes away.
The earth isnt a perfect sphere though; that measurement is different for the same amount of angular rotation, depending on where you measure from. Just use degrees...
It's in the article.
Did you...read the article?
The point on the planet that is true north, where an imaginary arrow pokes out of the top of an Arctic glacier and we all spin around it, the north pole where Santa lives, moved due to groundwater use shifting the mass distribution of the planet. Our wobble is extra wobbly and shouldn't be.
Not surprising, science is done in proper metric to start with.
But this is an American outlet reporting on science..
"""
Earth's pole has drifted toward 64.16°E at a speed of 4.36 cm/yr during 1993–2010 due to groundwater depletion and resulting sea level rise"""
That was two clicks away - so you're right: the property science wasn't some in fridges or football fields or any of the US scales.
