The Increasing Speed of Earth's Rotation
August 5, 2025
Days on Earth are becoming shorter, with the duration of the day falling below 24 hours. This is due to the Earth rotating faster, a phenomenon that raises concerns among scientists. While the difference is minimal, this trend is worrying. The Moon plays a significant role in the Earth's rotation, as its influence causes changes in the rotation speed. In the future, specific days in 2025 are expected to have a duration shorter than 24 hours.
