Earth’s rotation is no longer matching the tidy 24-hour day that our technology assumes. Since 2020, each day has been ...

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 ...

Wednesday, July 9 is going to be one of this year's shortest days, but you probably won't be able to tell. Here's why several milliseconds will be shaved off the clock on Wednesday, and when you can ...

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 by humans, according to a new study, as melting polar ice ...

As if it's not already hard enough to find the time to do everything you need to do in a day, now you're about to lose another whole millisecond or more. In fact, experts say Tuesday, July 22, could ...

(CNN) — Earth is spinning faster this summer, making the days marginally shorter and attracting the attention of scientists and timekeepers. July 10 was the shortest day of the year so far, lasting ...

WASHINGTON — Earth’s changing spin is threatening to toy with our sense of time, clocks and computerized society in an unprecedented way — but only for a second. For the first time in history, world ...

Climate change is messing with time itself. The melting of polar ice due to global warming is affecting Earth’s rotation and could have an impact on precision timekeeping, according to a paper ...

Global warming caused by climate change is shifting how quickly the Earth's rotation is speeding up and affecting the time we keep, according to a study published Wednesday. Research by University of ...

The speed of Earth's rotation is about 1,000 miles per hour relative to its axis. Your exact speed of rotation due to Earth's spin depends on your latitude. The farther you are from the equator, the ...

Meltwater from the polar ice caps, combined with the shifting spin of Earth's core, is messing with the Earth's rotation to the point that we might need to adjust for a "negative leap second." The ...

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 ...
