If you haven’t accomplished as much this summer as you had hoped to, you can blame forces far beyond your control: a few of these dog days, by one measure, are among the shortest you’ve ever lived ...

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 ...

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 matching up. Eventually, international timekeepers may need to subtract a ...

Earlier this month, 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 ...

Scientists announced Monday that Earth is rotating slightly faster than normal, resulting in what is expected to become the second-shortest day ever recorded since precise atomic timekeeping began.

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 ...

After accounting for Earth’s rotation, gravity is slightly weaker beneath Antarctica than anywhere else on the planet. That ...

Earth's rotation is randomly speeding up, and nobody is quite sure why. These speedups, which have occurred several times over the last few years, haven't had any effect on daily life, but they also ...

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 ...
