Melting ice at the poles due to climate change may impact the Earth's spin, altering our global clock. According to a new paper in the journal Nature, the "leap second" due to be added to ...
Reckoned by atomic seconds, however, Earth’s full journey around the sun took 31,622,401.14. As a result, two additional seconds were added: the very first “leap seconds”. One, on June 30th that year, ...
For the past couple of decades, Earth’s rotation around its axis has been speeding up. Consequently, the days have grown ...
As the world grapples with the far-reaching consequences of climate change, from the global refugee crisis to worsening allergy seasons, a new twist has emerged: the potential need for a “negative ...
THE PERFECT day should have 86,400 seconds: 24 hours for Earth to spin around its axis, 60 minutes in each hour, and 60 seconds in each minute. But the apparent precision of these simple ...
The members of the Flat Earthers reckoned they had proved that the Earth doesn't spin until science stepped in.
A recent study published in Nature suggests that global warming-induced melting of polar ice is causing a slowdown in the Earth's rotation, potentially leading to changes in our clocks ...
Recent data from atomic clocks showed the Earth's rotational speed may be slowing, leading to longer days, according to the timeanddate website. In June 2022, the Earth experienced its fastest ...
After a few years of speeding up, our planet now appears to be slowing down. For the first time in seven years, the average length of day became longer in 2023. Meanwhile, new predictions suggest ...
Like you, we are tired of corporate media that is politically driven and one sided. So we decided to focus on news that’s important to people. We’re Creating a Conscious alternative news network that ...
Historically, time has been measured by the rotation of the earth. The average Earth Day contains 86,400 seconds. The earth’s rotation has varied slightly depending upon the movement of the ...
