The same happens when they're annihilated. The temperature increase is due to how much dark matter enters the planet, and the energy that's input can also accelerate the planet's rotation period.

Scientists announced Monday that Earth is rotating slightly faster than normal, resulting in what is expected to become the second-shortest day ever recorded since precise atomic timekeeping began.
