Scientists have revealed that for the last 50 years, the day we have been measuring with a 24-hour period has not been 24 hours.
Scientists say that the Earth's rotation on its axis is less than 24 hours because the speed of the Earth's rotation around its axis has increased in the last 50 years. Scientists say that the Earth has been rotating around its axis for the last half a century. The days have gotten shorter by revolving around its own axis at a faster rate than usual. Experts discuss modifying the seconds to bridge this gap and reconcile time with the Earth's rotation on its axis. An example is given in this regard that the day of July 19, 2020, was less than 24 hours and four minutes.
