Climate change is slowing Earth's rotation at record speeds, causing GPS timing errors and navigation delays on your ...

Today's sea level rise is significant enough to slow the rotation of the planet by just over a millisecond per century.

Find out what’s speeding up Earth’s rotation and why it may force timekeepers to delete a second ...

Earth takes 24 hours to complete a full rotation in a standard day, equal to exactly 86,400 seconds. July 9 was the first of three days in which a millisecond or more could be shaved off the clock on ...

"The current rapid rise in day length can thus be attributed primarily to human influences," said professor Benedikt Soja.
