Earth’s Rotation Speeding Up, scientists Predict Shortest day on Record

Earth’s rotation is experiencing an unexpected acceleration, prompting scientists to predict the shortest day in recorded history may occur in the coming weeks. Graham Jones, an astrophysicist from the University of London, suggests that Earth’s spin could noticeably increase on july 9, July 22, or August 5, potentially shortening those days by 1.30, 1.38, or 1.51 milliseconds, respectively.

Why is Earth’s Rotation Changing?

Since 2020, scientists have observed that Earth is rotating slightly faster than usual, but the underlying cause
