Earth's Shortest Days and the Impact of Rapid Spin Changes
On July 22, Earth will experience its second-shortest day of the year, with a rotation 1.34 milliseconds faster than usual, due to gravitational interactions with the moon, continuing a trend of increasingly shorter days influenced by lunar gravity and climate change effects.
Earth's Rotation Accelerates, Leading to Shorter Days
Earth will experience one of its shortest days on July 22, with a rotation 1.34 milliseconds faster than usual, part of a recent trend of Earth's rotation speeding up, possibly due to internal Earth dynamics, though the exact cause remains uncertain.
