On July 9, 2025, scientists at the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) reported that the Earth completed its rotation approximately 1.3 to 1.6 milliseconds faster than ...

But with atomic clocks tracking the Earth’s rotational speed so closely that once every year and a half or so, the ...

The speed of Earth’s rotation on its axis is increasing. The result of the increasing speed of Earth’s rotation has come in ...

As for when this three-day event will happen, there are three days this summer when the moon will be around its furthest ...

When large masses of water are moved from one place to another, this changes the shape of Earth and leads to a phenomenon ...

On average, from the point of view of the sun, the Earth completes one full rotation around its axis every 24 hours or 86,400 seconds, give or take a few milliseconds. A millisecond (ms) is 0.001 of a ...
