A Faster Spinning Earth May Cause Timekeepers to Subtract a Second From World ClocksClocks may need to subtract a second due to Earth's faster rotation.Ice melting delays a negative leap second by counteracting Earth's speed burst.
Length of days on Earth is increasing at 'unprecedented' rateClimate change could add 2.62 milliseconds per century to the day, impacting long-range space travel.
Humanity Is Slowing Down EarthClimate change is altering Earth's fundamental properties, affecting its rotational speed and other characteristics.
Climate Change is Literally Making Days On Earth LongerClimate change is lengthening the Earth's day due to ice melt shifting mass distribution, slowing the planet's rotation.The impact of climate change on day length could surpass the moon's influence over geological time.Ice melt from Greenland and Antarctic contributes to Earth's flattening, affecting rotation speed.
Opinion: Our days are getting longer as the polar ice caps meltClimate change is impacting the Earth's rotation and lengthening our days by milliseconds, affecting computer systems and day-to-day activities.
The Earth heated up when its day was 22 hours longEarth's rotation slowing affects climate; shorter days due to tidal interactions can lead to a considerable shift in weather patterns and warmer temperatures.

The Cold War plan to stop Earth's rotation using 1,000 rocketsIn 1960, a plan called Project Retro was proposed to pause Earth's rotation to protect the US from a Russian nuclear attack.
Why does the night exist?Questioning simple concepts like night's existence leads to complex answers tied to physics and planetary formations.
Someday, Earth Will Have a Final Total Solar EclipseThe moon is gradually drifting away from Earth, leading to the eventual disappearance of total solar eclipses.The process of the moon moving away from Earth is influenced by gravitational interactions and has been ongoing for billions of years.
Feel like the day drags on? The length of days on Earth is increasingEarth's inner core is moving backwards, affecting day length
