Melting ice sheets lengthen Earth's days at unprecedented rate, Nasa study finds

As global temperatures rise, melting ice sheets at Earth's poles are lengthening the planet's day at an unprecedented rate, a new study reveals. This phenomenon, driven by climate change-induced sea-level rise, alters Earth's shape and slows its rotation. Researchers warn that if emissions persist, the increase in day length could more than double by the century's end, underscoring the profound impact of climate change on planetary dynamics.
