The Earth is predicted to increase its rotation speed in July and August, once again bucking the trend of a slower rotation over time. Though there are clear reasons for the increased rotational speed ...

If you’re the kind of person who gets a lot done, you’re grateful for every one of the 86,400 seconds that make up a day. On July 9, however, as well as on July 22, and August 5, you won’t get your ...

Earth’s rotation is slowly slowing, scientists say, meaning days are getting longer, though the change takes millions of ...

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 ...

Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are ...

The Earth is pretty good at keeping its pace. However, variations do happen. And on three separate days this summer—July 9, July 22, and August 5—the Earth will spin notably faster than usual. Of ...

It's a phenomenon that has left scientists baffled, but the Earth's rotation is spinning unusually fast and Wednesday may be the shortest day ever on record. The shortest day of the year could fall ...

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 ...

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 ...

DETROIT — The days are indeed getting shorter. Earth had its shortest day ever recorded on June 29, with the day ending 1.59 milliseconds sooner than usual, according to the National Physical ...
