🌍 Earth Is Spinning Faster — But Why?
In an unexpected twist, scientists have discovered that Earth will rotate slightly faster on three specific dates in 2025:
📅 July 9 (–1.45 ms)
📅 July 22 (–0.88 ms)
📅 August 5 (–1.51 ms)
While the difference is only measured in milliseconds, this is a remarkable change in our planet’s behavior.
🔍 What’s Causing It?
Experts believe a combination of factors may be responsible:
• Shifts in Earth’s molten outer core 🪨
• Glacial melt redistributing mass 🌊
• Atmospheric patterns like El Niño and La Niña
• The Moon’s position pulling unevenly on Earth’s equator 🌙
📏 Historically, Earth’s rotation has been slowing down — so this reversal has left scientists puzzled. Some even suggest it may lead to the subtraction of a leap second by 2029, a change never done before.
🧭 As we rely on ultra-precise timing for satellites, GPS, and internet systems, even these tiny changes can have ripple effects.
