The scientists were also shocked by data showing that Uranus' magnetic north and south poles were not closely aligned with the north-south axis of the planet's rotation.

领科学家震惊的是数据显示天王星的磁场南北极与行星的旋转南北轴线极不一致。

Melting of glaciers near the Earth's poles and the resulting rise in sea level is slowing down the Earth's rotation, thereby increasing the length of our days, a new study suggests.

最新的研究称，地球两极附近的冰川融化以及由此引起的海平面上升，减缓了地球自转的速度，进而增加了一天的时长。

Closer to the poles means closer to the axis of rotation — like a skater drawing her arms in, this has increased our Earth's rotation.

离两极更近意味着离旋转轴更近——像一个溜冰者把手臂往回缩，这样加速了地球的旋转。
