Earth’s rotation is slowly slowing, scientists say, meaning days are getting longer, though the change takes millions of ...

Planet Earth is spinning a little faster today — resulting in one of the shortest days of the year. But the change will be so minuscule you won’t even notice. We’re talking even less time than the ...

Global warming caused by climate change is shifting how quickly the Earth's rotation is speeding up and affecting the time we keep, according to a study published Wednesday. Research by University of ...

Scientists announced Monday that Earth is rotating slightly faster than normal, resulting in what is expected to become the second-shortest day ever recorded since precise atomic timekeeping began.

Climate change is messing with time itself. The melting of polar ice due to global warming is affecting Earth’s rotation and could have an impact on precision timekeeping, according to a paper ...

Researchers from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Curtin University in ...

Climate change is causing the ice masses in Greenland and Antarctica to melt. Water from the polar regions is flowing into the world’s oceans –and especially into the equatorial region. “This means ...

Earth's days are slowly getting longer. This change is driven by the Moon's gravity and shifts in Earth's mass due to melting ...

The internal, infernal machinations of our planet may be way more complex than we suspected. A new, detailed probe of Earth's heart reveals that the rotating inner core doesn't just change in rotation ...

Earth rotation and polar motion prediction encompass the estimation and forecasting of key parameters that describe the rotational behaviour of our planet. These predictions are pivotal for ...

WASHINGTON — Wednesday will be slightly shorter than usual, but you probably won't notice the difference even if you're watching the clock closely. Earth is expected to complete a full rotation on ...

THE PERFECT day should have 86,400 seconds: 24 hours for Earth to spin around its axis, 60 minutes in each hour, and 60 seconds in each minute. But the apparent precision of these simple calculations ...
