Sentences with phrase «day by milliseconds»

This influenced Earth's rotation, akin to an ice skater jutting out her arms to spin slower, contributing toward a lengthening of the day by milliseconds over the past 2,500 years.

Not exact matches

What would a day be in the Divine circadian cycle of an omnimodal, omnipotent being, 24 hours, 24 billion years, 24 milliseconds??? Nowhere in the Bible coes it say that evolution does not exist within the living realm, but Simon Peter does say that to the I Am»... one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years is as one day...» (the Bible DOES recognize the effects of animal husbandry, which is a form of artificially - induced evolution on livestock species, and narrates accounts of Divine intervention to influence it, so you can not factually say that it is outside the realm of Divine probability by biblical accounts, as Divine probability contains, by textbook definition, the sum of the laws of nature.

They found the day length varies by 0.4 milliseconds over a six - year period (Nature, DOI: 10.1038 / nature09010).

Consequently, Earth's rotation would speed up, and by 2200 the length of a day would be reduced by 0.12 milliseconds (Geophysical Research Letters, vol 34, p L06307).

Precise day - length data revealed that the changes immediately caused the Earth to spin faster, shortening each day by 0.1 milliseconds.

Neither is as fixed as you might think, varying by milliseconds and centimeters each day.

(A millisecond is one thousandth of a second) The length of a day, which is measured by the time it takes Earth to rotate once on its axis, can be measured to an accuracy of about 10 microseconds, or 10 millionths of a second.

In one study published in Geophysical Research Letters in 2007, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany, estimated the mass redistribution resulting from ocean warming would shorten the day by 120 microseconds, or nearly one tenth of a millisecond, over the next two centuries.

Tidal friction from the sun and moon slows our planet and increases the length of a day by 3 milliseconds per century.

That sounds like a lot, but it works out to the duration of a 24 - hour day being lengthened by about 1.78 milliseconds over the course of a century.

An upshot of this is that Earth will spin faster and, by 2200, days could be 0.12 milliseconds shorter.

And things got even worse the next day, when more forecasts came in that the two satellites would only miss hitting each other by 30 milliseconds [source: NASA].

Earth's spin continues to slow, with the planet's day increasing by about 1.8 milliseconds per century.

Our planet as a whole conserves its angular momentum except for the known effects of external torque associated with the lunar - solar tide, which induces a gradual decelerating of the earth rotation velocity at a rate corresponding to the increase in the astronomic length of day (LOD) by about 1.4 millisecond per century (Munk and McDonald 1960).
