Earth's Rotation Is Speeding up this Summer. Here's Why
The science behind why the Earth will spin just a little bit faster on July 9, July 22, and August 5, this year.
Earth’s rotation to speed up and make this July day shortest so far this year
Scientists expect a specific day in July to be the shortest day of 2025 so far, running just over a millisecond faster than the standard 24-hour cycle.
Why Earth will spin slightly faster on 3 days this summer
July 22, and Aug. 5, Earth will rotate a tiny bit quicker making those days ever so slightly shorter than 24 hours.
Earth's rotation is speeding up for 3 days this summer — starting today
Planet Earth will spin a little faster on three separate days this summer, starting today. This will technically result in shorter days, but the change will be so minuscule you won’t even notice. Several milliseconds will be shaved off of the 24 hours it takes for Earth to complete a full rotation — we’re talking even less time than the blink of
Earth’s rotation speeds up unexpectedly, making July 9 shortest day in history | Here’s why
On July 9, 22, and August 5, 2025, the Moon will be farthest from Earth’s equator, shifting its gravitational effect on Earth’s axis and altering rotation speed
Scientists Can't Explain Why Earth's Rotation Is Speeding Up — July 9 Will Be 1.30 Milliseconds Shorter
The rotation of the planet has increased since 2020, and the position of the Moon will make Earth spin faster on Wednesday, July 9, 2025.
