stevo247 Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 How common is planetary “wobbling”. The earth has the chandler wobble: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandler_wobble http://hpiers.obspm.fr/ As well as various other types of wobbles: http://www.agu.org/sci_soc/prrl/prrl0622.html So, how common is wobbling? Is everything wiggling and wobbling out there?
kaneda Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 I would think that "wobbling" is normal in objects in space in that there are so many gravitational influences around. Many bodies are not actually solid too, as in the Earth's molten interior which has it's independent motion.
