Earth is spinning faster this summer, making the days marginally shorter and attracting the attention of scientists and ...

This summer a few factors are adding up to make a handful of Earth’s spins—those occurring on July 10, July 22 and August 5—more than a millisecond faster than the average of the past several decades.

The science behind why the Earth will spin just a little bit faster on July 9, July 22, and August 5, this year.

The speed of Earth's rotation on its axis is increasing. The result of the increasing speed of Earth's rotation has come in the form of a decrease in the daytime. Scientists say that it has now been ...

On July 9, 2025, scientists at the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) reported that the Earth completed its rotation approximately 1.3 to 1.6 milliseconds faster than ...

A recent study suggests the speed at which the Earth’s inner core rotates has slowed down. It didn’t say the core is stopping or reversing direction.
