Earth’s Having a Speedy Day?!

Did you know July 9 is officially the shortest day ever recorded? Scientists say the moon’s position is making Earth spin faster, shaving off up to 1.6 milliseconds from our usual 24 hours. It’s the sixth time since 2020 this has happened, and more record-breaking short days are coming soon. The planet’s rotation is so sensitive that even natural disasters and seasons can mess with it. The first-ever negative leap second is coming in 2029—time is literally changing! #Science #ScienceFacts #Earth
