Get Ready For The Shortest Day Since Records Began As Earth Spins Faster
A recent report reveals that the Earth is spinning faster than ever recorded in history. According to Jamie Carter, an award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky, the Earth’s rotation has been increasing speed since 2020. This development could potentially rewrite the record books.
The new data suggests that the fastest-ever recorded spin of the planet occurred in 2020. The research indicates that since then, each subsequent year has consistently produced shorter days. Notably, last year saw the shortest day recorded on July 5th, and it appears that this trend is likely to continue with predictions indicating that we can expect close to or exceeding this record in the near future.
Further studies have been conducted by Timeanddate.com, International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service, and U.S. Naval Observatory which all point to the same conclusion: the Earth’s spin has accelerated since 2020.
