Earth is spinning faster than ever, and the result is a shortening of the length of our days. Since 2020, each year has brought records for the shortest day ever, with Earth’s spin accelerating by ...

WASHINGTON — Wednesday will be slightly shorter than usual, but you probably won't notice the difference even if you're watching the clock closely. Earth is expected to complete a full rotation 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.

Earth’s rotation dynamics are influenced by a range of internal and external factors, with Free Core Nutation (FCN) standing out as a key phenomenon. FCN arises from the slight misalignment between ...

How does the Earth generate its magnetic field? While the basic mechanisms seem to be understood, many details remain unresolved. A team of researchers has introduced a simulation method that promises ...

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 ...

Scientists predicted that Tuesday will be a fraction of a second shorter than normal as the Earth’s rotation is moving faster. File Photo by NASA/UPI July 22 (UPI) --Scientists predicted that Tuesday ...

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 ...
