The Earth is predicted to increase its rotation speed in July and August, once again bucking the trend of a slower rotation over time. Though there are clear reasons for the increased rotational speed ...

If you’re the kind of person who gets a lot done, you’re grateful for every one of the 86,400 seconds that make up a day. On July 9, however, as well as on July 22, and August 5, you won’t get your ...

Planet Earth will spin a little faster on three separate days this summer, starting today. This will technically result in shorter days, but the change will be so minuscule you won’t even notice.

July 22 is reportedly one of the shortest days ever recorded. Before you get worried, the day will only be 1.34 milliseconds less than the standard 24 hours we’re used to, according to Space.com, so ...

DETROIT — The days are indeed getting shorter. Earth had its shortest day ever recorded on June 29, with the day ending 1.59 milliseconds sooner than usual, according to the National Physical ...

While the Earth on June 29 did indeed record its shortest day since the adoption of the atomic clock standard in 1970 — at 1.59 milliseconds less than 24 hours — scientists say this is a normal ...

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 is pretty good at keeping its pace. However, variations do happen. And on three separate days this summer—July 9, July 22, and August 5—the Earth will spin notably faster than usual. Of ...

(CNN) — June 29 was the shortest day on Earth since the invention of the atomic clock. The planet’s rotation measured in at 1.59 milliseconds short of the normal 24 hours, according to the ...

WASHINGTON — Wednesday will be slightly shorter than usual, but you probably won't notice the difference even if you're watching the clock closely. Earth is expected to complete a full rotation on ...

It's a phenomenon that has left scientists baffled, but the Earth's rotation is spinning unusually fast and Wednesday may be the shortest day ever on record. The shortest day of the year could fall ...
