Earth spinning faster than it has in 50 years *scientists might delete a second*
Earth may be spinning faster than it has in over 50 years. Previously our planet took longer than 24 hours to complete a rotation. since 2020, every day is taking less than 24 hours. July 19, 2020 was the shortest day ever since data collection by scientists began in 1960s
The previous shortest day in 2005 was beaten 28 times in 2020. On average, days are about 0.5 seconds shorter than 24 hours. Earth's rotation varies constantly due to the complex motion of oceans and friction of tides. Even the snow building up on mountains and melting in the summer can shift the rotation. a negative leap second may soon be needed so atomic clocks can align correctly. It would be the first time ever that a second may be removed from global clocks
