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

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

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

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

The new study described this "almost unprecedented rate of increase" in the length of an average day as a quantifiable ...

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 ...

Aren’t the summer days supposed to be longer and the winter days shorter? Since when have things gone in reverse for the summertime? Since now, maybe? Starting today? Okay, here’s what’s going on.

But new research suggests a new player is making an impact: us. By studying foraminifera, tiny single-celled marine organisms that leave behind fossil shells, a team of researchers from the University ...

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 ...

New research gives the first accurate estimate of how much faster the Earth’s core is rotating compared to the rest of the planet. Previous research had shown that the Earth’s core rotates faster than ...
