Thanks to atomic clocks (and all the worldly forces that influence them), scientists know that Earth's rotation has begun to ...

Atomic clocks — among the most precise instruments humans have ever built — have been keeping track of Earth’s spin since the ...

On July 9, 22, and August 5, 2025, the Moon will be farthest from Earth’s equator, shifting its gravitational effect on Earth’s axis and altering rotation speed ...

Long-term changes in the planet's spin speed largely stem from Earth's core acting in unpredictable ways, researchers say.
