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

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

By the End of the Century, Climate Change Could Affect Earth's Rotation More Than the Moon, Scientists Warn ...

Just when you thought climate change was only reshaping coastlines and weather patterns, a new scientific study reveals an even more startling impact: Earth’s days are literally getting longer.

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

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 ...

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.

Time is not on your side this summer. The Earth is set to have three remarkably shorter than average days in the coming weeks as the Earth’s rotation unexpectedly accelerates, according to scientists.

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 ...

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 shaved off the clock on ...
