Climate Change Slows Earth's Spin, Lengthens Days
Climate change is causing Earth's ice caps to melt, leading to a redistribution of mass towards the equator and slowing Earth's rotation, thus lengthening days. This shift, combined with natural tidal braking from the moon, could impact global time-keeping, digital infrastructure, and space travel. Additionally, Earth's inner core has been slowing down for 14 years, further contributing to changes in Earth's rotation.
