New research has found that Earth is suddenly spinning faster than usual, which will cause us to experience shorter days in the years to come and it can spell doom for us.
It is common knowledge that the Earth rotates on its axis in about 24 hours. But major seismic shifts are occurring to this established fact. On July 29, Earth completed a full spin in around 1.59 milliseconds less time than usual, according to scientists ( 23 hours and 56 minutes). It should be noted that the blue planet has spun faster before. However, atomic clocks have lately shown that the Earth's rotation is accelerating rapidly.
The shortest day of the year was July 19 in 2020, which also happened to be the shortest month on record for Earth. It was 1.47 milliseconds less than a day.
The Earth continued to rotate at a substantially faster rate the next year, but no records were broken.
Earth's fastest rotation ever occurred on June 29, 2022, and a day that lasted 1.50 milliseconds shorter on J...
