On June 29, 2022, Earth set a new record for the shortest day on record.
The earth began to spin around its axis faster to record the shortest day. This is stated in the report of scientists.
Specifically, on June 29, 2022, the Earth made one revolution in 1.59 milliseconds which is faster than 24 hours. It is believed that our planet makes one full revolution around its axis in 86400 seconds, which is one full day. So, this is the latest in a series of Earth rotation speed records starting in 2020.
Two years ago, Earth reached 28, the shortest day since accurate daily measurements using atomic clocks began in the 1960s. The shortest day of all in 2020 was -1.47 milliseconds on July 19.
Scientists suggest that this may be due to processes in the Earth’s inner or outer layers, oceans, ebbs and flows, or even climate.
It was previously reported that one of the most active comets flew by the Earth, hitting the lenses of the Virtual Telescope Project.
Scientists have found out where the water on Earth came from
