Climate change is starting to alter how humans keep time. An analysis 1 published in Nature on 27 March has predicted that melting ice caps are slowing Earth’s rotation to such an extent that the next ...

The length of Earth's days and the orientation of our planet are being thrown out of balance as human-caused climate change continuously alters Earth's spin, new research suggests. Initially, these ...

Researchers carried out a pioneering experiment where they measured the effect of the rotation of Earth on quantum entangled photons. The work represents a significant achievement that pushes the ...

Humanity's impact on the polar ice sheets is slowing Earth's rotation, posing a challenge for how it matches up with the official timekeeping. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

Global warming has slightly slowed the Earth’s rotation — and it could affect how we measure time. A study published Wednesday found that the melting of polar ice — an accelerating trend driven ...

Recently, Earth’s rotation has been speeding up, shortening days by milliseconds. While this change is minor, scientists are exploring its potential consequences. As highlighted by New Scientist, a ...

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 ...

We live on a spinning planet. Depending on latitude your individual speed varies from 0 mph at the poles to 1,040 mph (1,674 kph) at the equator. Here at 47 degrees north I'm madly spinning eastward ...

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 ...
