The speed of rotation of the earth has slowed down thus increasing the time of one day by 0.06 microseconds, i.e. now the day has become a bit longer. Even the North and South Poles have shifted 2-2 ...

"Enough ice has melted to move sea level enough that we can actually see the rate of the Earth's rotation has been affected," Duncan Agnew, a geophysicist at the Scripps Institution of ...

So how come days don’t last half a year where you live? That’s because the Earth is a sphere that constantly rotates on its axis:just like a basketball player spinning a ball on their finger ...
