However, in the last few years, the atomic clocks have shown that Earth's rotation is speeding up. In 2020, scientists recorded the 28 shortest days since 1960.

A new study confirms that Earth's inner core has been rotating more slowly than usual since 2010. This mysterious "backtracking" could also end up slightly altering the planet's overall rotation ...

Is the rotation speed of Earth's core slowing down? Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann discovered the planet's inner core in 1936. Since then, scientists have continued to debate its rotation speed ...

Humans discovered the curvature and rotation of the Earth thousands of years ago, dating back to ancient Greece. Since then, scientists have only discovered more evidence to prove this is true ...

The rotation of the Earth's inner core may be reversing, scientists have found in a study that sheds new light on geological processes occurring deep within our planet.

EARTH’S inner core is rotating more slowly and has changed direction, experts have confirmed. The inner core is a solid iron-nickel sphere around the size of the Moon. It floats 3,000 miles b… ...

T he Earth is spinning slightly faster than before, and that means our days are becoming shorter by a tiny fraction of a second. Scientists say this trend has been noticeable since 2020, and by ...

New insights into planetary motion reveal that Earth is not technically orbiting the Sun. Instead, both the Sun and Earth revolve around a shared centre of mass called the barycentre.

The rotation of the Earth's solid inner core may have recently paused and could be reversing, according to a study published in Nature Geoscience. Representational image Image Source : AP.
