Ever wondered if human ingenuity could literally shift our planet? Turns out, it can – albeit ever so slightly.

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

The International Rotation and Reference Systems Service found that July 9, July 22, and August 5 will be victims of the time ...

Earth's rotation is expected to speed up in July and August this year, resulting in shorter days. Specifically, July 9, July ...

In July and August, the Earth's rotation is expected to speed up, making days slightly shorter, particularly on July 9, July 22, and August 5.

"If the effect is real and scaling behaves the way our equations say, then the possibility becomes real," Chyba told Newsweek ...

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 team built a 120-year model of polar motion, allowing them to track shifts in Earth's axis over time, showing that shifting mass can also alter the axis of rotation.

This means that the points where the axis of rotation actually meets the Earth's surface move. Researchers can observe this polar motion, which, over a longer timeframe, comes to some ten meters ...

NATURE How climate change has already affected Earth’s rotation and length of its days. According to a new study, effects caused by global warming are having a greater impact on the speed of ...

The team also warned that the changes to Earth's rotational axis could alter the rotation of Earth's inner core, which could further increase how fast days lengthen.

When the Earth’s ice masses melt, the way the planet rotates also changes. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now been able to show how climate change is altering the Earth’s axis of rotation and the ...
