The Indian Ocean "gravity hole" is the site of the deepest dent in Earth's gravitational field. It's a circular ocean region with a gravitational pull that's so weak, sea levels are 348 feet (106 ...

NASA scientists have discovered an electric field encompassing Earth’s atmosphere that is as “fundamental” as gravity — and could even give clues about possible life on other planets. A ...

Standing on Earth's surface, the planet's mass creates a gravitational force sufficient to accelerate any object downward (toward the core of the planet, or perpendicular to the planet's surface ...

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.

Magnetic field: The shield that protects planet Earth from the solar wind, the stream of charged particles released by the sun. Ambipolar field : Counteracts gravity and ejects particles into space.

Two major global energy fields are known to exist around Earth – the gravity field, generated by the planet’s mass, and the electromagnetic field, which is produced by churning metals in the core.

For a hydrogen atom, the upward pull of this electric field is 10.6 times stronger than gravity pulling downward, said Alex Glocer, a NASA physicist and co-author of the study. Advertisement ...
