Earth is going to spin much faster over the next few months — so fast that several days are going to get shorter

Earth's rotation is speeding up, resulting in shorter days this summer. On July 9, July 22, and August 5, days will be 1.3 to 1.51 milliseconds shorter than usual due to the moon's position affecting Earth's axis. This change is part of natural variations in Earth's spin, influenced by factors like lunar gravity, climate change, and mass distribution.
