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 ...

The Earth's rotation is about to accelerate significantly. According to scientists, July 9, July 22, and August 5 of this year will be some of the shortest days in recent memory as a result, slicing ...

If the atmosphere were not dragged with our planet, you could utilize the insane relative wind speeds to decrease flight time, but you'd probably not be concerned with such problems as "long flights" ...

On those three days, just over a millisecond is expected to be shaved off the standard 24-hour day. Of course, you're unlikely to notice such a miniscule difference in your day. But scientists who ...

We’ve probably all had a few conversations with people who hold eccentric scientific ideas, and most of the time they yield nothing more than frustration and perhaps a headache. In [Bertrand ...

Brazil's Lula squares up to Trump, measles cases hit a 33-year high, and more Length: Long Speed: 1.0x If you’re the kind of person who gets a lot done, you’re grateful for every one of the 86,400 ...

Earth takes 24 hours to complete a full rotation in a standard day, equal to exactly 86,400 seconds. July 9 was the first of three days in which a millisecond or more could be shaved off the clock on ...

Oxygen is crucial for life as we know it, but before it could build up in our atmosphere, earth had to slow down. Hosted by: ...

Earth’s rotation dynamics are influenced by a range of internal and external factors, with Free Core Nutation (FCN) standing out as a key phenomenon. FCN arises from the slight misalignment between ...

Unbeknownst to most people, the Earth is spinning around in space at over 1,000 miles per hour, so is it possible that you could outrun the spin?
