The heart of our planet has been spinning unusually slowly for the past 14 years, new research confirms. And if this mysterious trend continues, it could potentially lengthen Earth's days — though the ...

Earth's inner core, once rotating faster than the surface, has begun to slow, impacting day length by fractions of a second. This subtle shift, detected through seismic wave analysis, reveals complex ...

Ever since its formation around 4.5 billion years ago, Earth's rotation has been gradually slowing down, and its days have gotten progressively longer as a result. While Earth's slowdown is not ...

Earth’s rotation is no longer matching the tidy 24-hour day that our technology assumes. Since 2020, each day has been ...

Decades worth of seismic data confirms the rotation of Earth's inner core is moving slower than the planet's surface. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Climate change is causing so much polar ice melt that it’s slowing down Earth’s rotation and — here’s the kicker — it will alter how we measure time in the future. That’s the outrageous conclusion ...

As the polar ice caps melt, the Earth actually slows down, California scientists say. Less ice at the Earth's poles and more water weight spread around to other places are leading to the planet ...

Two studies funded by NASA have concluded that Earth’s rotation is slowing due to Earth’s melting polar ice caps. This adjustment in planetary mass is enough to change the rotation as added water to ...
