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:abdossamad2003 said: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?

If you try an Internet search you should find plenty of others.
I can't remember now. It was something obvious like "length of a day".abdossamad2003 said:Thanks
What did you search on Google that led to this result?
Earth rotates counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole.
Earth takes approximately 24 hours to complete one full rotation on its axis.
Yes, Earth's rotation directly affects the length of a day. As Earth rotates, different parts of the planet are exposed to the Sun, creating night and day.
No, Earth's rotation is not constant. It is gradually slowing down due to tidal forces from the Moon and friction from the Earth's atmosphere and oceans.
Earth's rotation is responsible for the Coriolis effect, which is the apparent deflection of moving objects on the surface of the Earth due to its rotation. This effect is most noticeable in large-scale weather patterns and ocean currents.
