Right now, we're zooming through space at incredible speeds, so why aren't we dizzy or flying off into space?  An expert ...

If you've felt like summer days are flying by, you're not wrong—at least not scientifically. Experts have observed that Earth's rotation is speeding up, making some days slightly shorter than the ...

It wouldn’t be summer without the stretched out days. The dawns break early and the dusks come late, affording more time for lazy beach trips and long barbecues under the slow curve of the sun. But ...

Ever since its formation around 4.5 billion years ago, Earth's rotation has been gradually slowing down, and its days have gotten progressively longer as a result. While Earth's slowdown is not ...

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 ...

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 1.36 ...

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 ...

On those three days, just over a millisecond is expected to be shaved off the standard 24-hour day. Of course, you're unlikely to notice such a miniscule difference in your day. But scientists who ...

Earth rotation and polar motion prediction encompass the estimation and forecasting of key parameters that describe the rotational behaviour of our planet. These predictions are pivotal for ...
