The Earth's rotation creates the cycle of day and night. However, scientists have found the Earth is now rotating faster than ...

The International Rotation and Reference Systems Service found that July 9, July 22, and August 5 will be victims of the time ...

Earth is spinning faster than ever, and the result is a shortening of the length of our days. Since 2020, each year has ...

EARTH is set to have three unexpectedly shorter than average days in the coming weeks – and it’s taken scientists by surprise ...

A scientist has warned that Earth's rotation is unexpectedly accelerating, leading to the shortest day in history in just a ...

The planet’s liquid core spins independently of its solid outer shell. If the core slows down, the solid shell speeds up to maintain momentum, Agnew said, and that is what’s currently happening.

Turbulence within our planet’s liquid interior impacts the rotation of the planet as a whole, though it’s difficult to say by how much. Observations of the Earth’s core are difficult to make, and ...

New research confirms the rotation of Earth's inner core has been slowing down as part of a decades-long pattern. How this slowdown might affect our planet remains an open question.

To investigate why Venus' rotation is so slow, Kane first calculated how long it would take for a planet like Venus to get tidally locked. The calculation factored in the size of the two bodies ...

"Rotation can have a huge effect, and lots of planets that we previously thought were definitely not habitable now can be considered as candidates," says Dorian Abbot of the University of Chicago ...

Astronomers have for the first time managed to detect the rotation of an extrasolar planet, by analysing the way its atmosphere filters light. This technique could also provide clues about planet ...
