Today's sea level rise is significant enough to slow the rotation of the planet by just over a millisecond per century.

Find out what’s speeding up Earth’s rotation and why it may force timekeepers to delete a second ...

"The current rapid rise in day length can thus be attributed primarily to human influences," said professor Benedikt Soja.

But new research suggests a new player is making an impact: us. By studying foraminifera, tiny single-celled marine organisms that leave behind fossil shells, a team of researchers from the University ...

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 ...

Time is not on your side this summer. The Earth is set to have three remarkably shorter than average days in the coming weeks as the Earth’s rotation unexpectedly accelerates, according to scientists.

Rising sea levels are slowing Earth’s rotation, lengthening how long an average day lasts. And the current rate of increase to a single average day—1.33 additional milliseconds per century—is ...

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 ...
