A typical desk globe is designed to be a geometric sphere and to rotate smoothly when you spin it. Our actual planet is far less perfect — in both shape and in rotation. Earth is not a perfect sphere.

A planet's year length depends on its distance from the Sun. Planets closer to the Sun have shorter years. A planet's rotation speed is unrelated to its year length. Planets' orbital speeds vary ...

Seismic waves passing through the Earth have revealed that the inner core of our planet is now rotating out-of-sync with the layers above it. Update: As reported below, research from January 2023 ...
