Ice melt changing earth's gravity field William Colgan of York University in Toronto has also been studying the rate of the Greenland ice melt and its effects on the ocean.

The Indian Ocean "gravity hole" is a region where Earth's mass is reduced, leading to weak gravitational pull, lower-than-average sea levels and a puzzle scientists have only just begun to solve.

These larger top-of-the-line devices can detect changes to gravitational fields of around one part in a billion, whereas this one can do so to about one part in 60 million.

The recent study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Physics Review Letters, suggests that the magnetospheres of Earth and Jupiter could be key in converting gravitational waves into ...

It is known that there are two main global fields around the Earth — the gravitational field, formed by the planet’s mass, and the electromagnetic field, formed by the metals of the planet’s core. The ...

Gravitational field strength (g) is measured in newtons per kilogram (N/kg). The Earth's gravitational field strength is 9.8 N/kg. This means that for each kg of mass, an object will experience 9. ...

When a beam of light enters a powerful gravitational field like the sun’s, it departs from the straight trajectory and forms a curved path like a planetary prism — making it harder to spot.

The gravitational tug of Mars may be strong enough to stir up Earth’s ocean, shifting its sediments as part of a 2.4-million-year climate cycle, researchers claim.
