Oh my days! Midnight comes a fraction sooner as Earth spins faster

Earth is spinning faster than usual, leading to the shortest day ever recorded

This minuscule change in time means we might need to consider a negative leap second.

Scientists left BAFFLED as Earth spins faster on axis and midnight comes early

THE PLANET broke a new record when it completed a rotation which was 1.50 milliseconds shorter than its usual speed.

Oh my days! Midnight comes a fraction sooner as Earth spins faster

Analysis: Reflecting a recent trend, 29 June was the shortest day on our planet since the 1960s. What’s going on?

Earth breaks record for shortest day AGAIN

Earth recorded its shortest day in history on July 29, 2022. Know why Earth is spinning faster.

Earth Is Spinning Faster, New Record For Shortest Day Is Less Than 24 Hours

On July 29, the Earth spun the fastest it ever has on record and gave us a day that was less than 24 hours. The rotation along Earth's axis accelerated from the previous record held in 2020. The faster rotation added extra 1.59 milliseconds to the typical 24-hour day, according to timeanddate.com. The previous record was on July 19, 2020, when we gained 1.4602 milliseconds.

Earth is spinning faster, records shortest day yet again; Know how this will impact us

A study published in Geophysical Research Letters of the American Geophysical Union suggests that global warming has led to significant melting of glaciers due to which our planet’s axis of rotation has been moving faster since the 1990s.
