The Earth is predicted to increase its rotation speed in July and August, once again bucking the trend of a slower rotation ...

Earth is spinning faster than ever, and the result is a shortening of the length of our days. Since 2020, each year has ...

Our planet is going to spin a little faster on July 9, July 22, and August 5, thanks to the moon’s distance from the equator.

The Earth is always rotating. Despite some hair-brained theories that the Earth is flat, all you need to see evidence of the Earth’s rotation and its roundness is to set up a camera and record ...

But after a long trend of slowing, the Earth’s rotation is now speeding up because of changes in its core. For the first time ever, a second will need to be taken off.

If you feel like there’s less time in the day, you’re correct. Scientists recorded the shortest day on Earth since the invention of the atomic clock. Our planet’s rotation measured in at 1. ...

But after a long trend of slowing, the Earth’s rotation is now speeding up because of changes in its core. For the first time ever, a second will need to be taken off.

Earth’s quickened rotation is prompting many scientists to ponder the possible consequences. One such consequence is that of time, which could be slightly thrown off as a result.

Exactly when that will happen is being influenced by humans, according to a new study, as melting polar ice alters the Earth’s rotation and changes time itself.

By Laura Paddison and Rachel Ramirez, CNN (CNN) — One day in the next couple of years, everyone in the world will lose a second of their time. Exactly when that will happen is being influenced ...

Polar ice melt “has been large enough to noticeably affect the rotation of the entire Earth in a way that is unprecedented,” said Mr. Agnew, who has authored a study on the subject.
