Q. Chandler wobble, which was seen in the news, is a phenomenon associated with which field?
Answer: Rotation of Planets
Notes: Recently, the Planet Earth took 1.59 milliseconds less than 24 hours to complete one rotation on June 29. Scientists speculated various possible causes for time difference including ‘Chandler wobble’, a deviation of the planet's axis of rotation. To compensate for the change, scientists monitoring atomic clocks have used the concept of 'leap seconds' to adjust the Universal Coordinated Time.
