Earth's day isn't exactly 24 hours, and the deep planet may explain why
Original: Earth’s day isn’t exactly 24 hours. The reason may lie deep inside the planet
New research reported by ScienceDaily suggests Earth's day does not last exactly 24 hours, with the explanation possibly found deep inside the planet. The finding points to internal planetary processes influencing the length of the day, adding to scientists' understanding of Earth's rotation and inner dynamics. Researchers say the deep interior may hold the key to small variations in day length.
Why now: Fresh science coverage of new research into Earth's rotation has drawn attention.
