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 ...

New Delhi: The speed of Earth's rotation on its axis is increasing. The result of the increasing speed of Earth's rotation has come in the form of a decrease in the daytime. Scientists say that it has ...

Earlier this month, the Earth spun just a bit faster than usual on July 9 and is expected to do so again on July 22 and Aug. 5, according to the website TimeAndDate. Over a millisecond was reportedly ...

Earth is spinning faster than ever, and the result is a shortening of the length of our days. Since 2020, each year has brought records for the shortest day ever, with Earth’s spin accelerating by ...

If you haven’t accomplished as much this summer as you had hoped to, you can blame forces far beyond your control: a few of these dog days, by one measure, are among the shortest you’ve ever lived ...

While the Earth on June 29 did indeed record its shortest day since the adoption of the atomic clock standard in 1970 — at 1.59 milliseconds less than 24 hours — scientists say this is a normal ...

We know Earth’s rotation on a cosmic scale, but seeing it close up requires quantum mechanics. Interferometry is the use of light waves, sound, etc., to identify changes in matter or motion. New ...

Humanity's increased release of greenhouse gasses has raised the planet's temperature, and no one expects that to stop any time soon. As the globe warms, a study shows it is also spinning more slowly.
