Scientists predicted that Tuesday will be a fraction of a second shorter than normal as the Earth's rotation is moving faster.

Our planet has been rotating at its fastest since records began in 1973. Earth will complete a full rotation in slightly less time than usual on Tuesday, July 22, making it one of the shortest days ever recorded.

Tuesday, July 22, is expected to be the second of three days in 2025 where more than a millisecond could be shaved off the day due to Earth's rotation
