Recently, we looked at insolation and the solar constant, and in this article, we are going to look at global net radiation and seasons.

Earth has surpluses of radiation in its equatorial regions, and deficits toward its poles. Our weather is a matter of Earth ...

Decades of satellite observations show that Earth's vegetation forms a moving balance point across continents and seasons.

The planet's seasons are not as immutable as previously thought. Turns out there are parts of the world that have different seasonal timing than those regions even just a short distance away. This ...

Scientists in the United States have created a small device that produces a tiny electrical signal from Earth’s natural rotation. Although the voltage is extremely small, the experiment shows that ...

When we talk about feats of engineering, very few megastructures on Earth rival the sheer scale of China's Three Gorges Dam. It's located in Hubei province, spanning the mighty Yangtze River, and it's ...
