Earth's Rotation Affected by Melting Ice Sheets
The melting of polar ice sheets is causing a shift in water distribution, resulting in Earth becoming bulkier and rotating slower. This phenomenon has a direct impact on the length of our days, affecting our planet's rotation speed and balance.
Implications on Day Length
The implications of melting ice on Earth's rotation are significant, highlighting the interconnectedness of climate change and celestial mechanics.
