AI Thread Summary
Earth's rotation period varies daily due to factors like seasonal winds and tides, with changes occurring at the nanosecond level. The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service is a key resource for tracking this data, though live updates may not be readily available on their website. Users can find additional information on websites like timeanddate.com and other resources through general internet searches. The discussion also touches on the angular frequency of Earth, calculated as ω=2(pi)/86400, indicating a slight difference at every moment. Overall, various online platforms provide insights into Earth's rotational variations.

The period of rotation of the Earth around itself is changed by seasonal winds, tides, and other factors. The exact amount changes daily(about nano second). Is there a website that shows this amount?

I imagine there are lots of websites that contain this information. For example:

https://www.timeanddate.com/time/earth-rotation.html

If you try an Internet search you should find plenty of others.

I want angular frequency of Earth at this moment but I can't find it on Google
ω=2(pi)/86400=72.7221*10^-6 (difference every moment)

I can't remember now. It was something obvious like "length of a day".
