ASTRONOMICAL NOTES:
| By Graham Jones on Timeand Date dot Com
https://www.timeanddate.com/news/astronomy/earth-rotation-2024 Following a recent run of the shortest days ever recorded by atomic clocks, Earth’s rotational speed may be slowing. In the past few years, Earth’s spin speeded up. It was at its swiftest in June 2022, which included the shortest-ever days as measured by atomic clocks. Since then, however, the trend has reversed. In 2023, for the first time in seven years, the average length of day became longer. Meanwhile, the latest predictions suggest this slowdown may continue into 2025. 2020: Earth in a Hurry 2021: On Course for a Negative Leap Second? 2022: New Record for Shortest Day Review: Earth Speeds Up In general, Earth’s rotational speed is decreasing: around 100 million years ago, a day on Earth was only 23 hours long. This gradual slowdown is caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon acting as a gentle brake on Earth’s spin. However, during the past decade, Earth speeded up. Here at timeanddate, we kept a close eye on this development—and its consequences. |
