If the atmosphere were not dragged with our planet, you could utilize the insane relative wind speeds to decrease flight time ...

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

Thanks to a speed-up of Earth's rotation, the length of the astronomical day and the length of the clock day aren't quite ...

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe talks to John Vidale, professor of earth sciences at the University of Southern California, about new research suggesting the rotation of Earth's inner core may be slowing down.

Scientists recently discovered that Earth’s dense inner core may have stopped rotating relative to the surface. But that change is not likely to have noticeable impacts on our daily lives. Scientists ...

While the Earth on June 29 did indeed record its shortest day since the adoption of the atomic clock standard in 1970 — at 1.59 milliseconds less than 24 hours — scientists say this is a normal ...

New studies, which utilized AI to monitor the effects of climate change on Earth's spin, have shown that our days are getting increasingly longer and that our planet will get more wobbly in the future ...

If you feel like there’s less time in the day, you’re correct. Scientists recorded the shortest day on Earth since the invention of the atomic clock. Our planet’s rotation measured in at 1.59 ...
