The Earth rotates 365 times on its axis, determining the number of days in a year. However, this has not always been the case, various calculations indicate that Earth's orbital period in the past has varied from approximately 490 to 372 days, the report said.

There are many factors that could be attributed to Earth's faster movement. Acco...
