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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have raised concerns that the Earth's inner core may completely halt its rotation by 2040, according to a recent paper published in Nature. The study suggests changes are occurring deep ...

In trying to solve Earth’s climate problem, the answer might be Earth itself.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Although the Earth completes one full rotation in 86,400 seconds on average, that spin fluctuates by a millisecond or two every day. Before ...

The rotation of the Earth's inner core may be reversing, scientists have found in a study that sheds new light on geological processes occurring deep within our planet.

The planet’s rotation was completed 1.59 milliseconds short of a 24-hour day on June 29, breaking the record for the world’s shortest day in modern history.

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 ...

Earth’s inner core seems to be slowing its spin This isn’t the beginning of the end times. Instead the findings stoke debate about how the core influences some of the most fundamental parts of ...

A team of researchers from China believe the Earth’s inner core has reversed its rotation after they analyzed earthquake-driven seismic waves as they pass through the Earth. In a study published ...

The Earth has rotated slowly enough to require a first ever negative leap second, according to a report published in Nature.

The rotation of Earth’s inner core may have paused and it could even go into reverse, new research suggests.
