The standard day on Earth consists of 24 hours, which is 1,440 minutes and 86,400 seconds. However, shorter days are ahead in the next few weeks. The rotation of the Earth changes due to several ...

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 ...

This video explains Earth’s rotation, how it gradually changes over time, and why our planet continues spinning without ...

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 ...
