That marble moon is so small I had to put an arrow over it for you. So here's what it comes down to: If you want to show the Earth-sun-moon system, you'd seem to have two options. You could show ...

July 22 has an anticipated LOD of -1.38 milliseconds, while August 5 corresponds to an LOD of -1.51 milliseconds. Part of this is because of the Moon's position relative to Earth on those days.

Planetary Tailspin The Earth's rotation is about to accelerate significantly. According to scientists, July 9, July 22, and August 5 of this year will be some of the shortest days in years as a result ...

As much as a millisecond or more could be shaved off the clock on Wednesday, July 9, on account of how the moon's position relative to Earth is influencing our planet's rotation.

On July 9, July 22 and Aug. 5, the position of the moon is expected to affect Earth's rotation so that each day is between 1.3 and 1.51 milliseconds shorter than normal.

July 10 was the shortest day of the year so far, lasting 1.36 milliseconds less than 24 hours, according to data from the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service and the US ...

Earth's shortest day on record is expected this Wednesday, with more shorter days on July 22 and August 5 due to the Moon's position, causing Earth to spin faster by 1.3 to 1.51 milliseconds.

Earth is set to experience unusually short days in July and August 2025. The Moon's orbital position is subtly accelerating Earth's rotation. These days will be milliseconds shorter, impacting ...

Therefore, the days grow longer. But that is a process that takes billions of years and is complicated by short-term fluctuations. Centuries of data show that the speed of Earth’s rotation has ...

July 5 That's despite the Earth's full rotation around the Sun taking almost exactly 86,400 milliseconds, the equivalent of 24 hours. The short upcoming days buck a decades-long trend.

Science News: Earth is set to experience unusually short days in July and August 2025. The Moon's orbital position is subtly accelerating Earth's rotation. These da ...
