Dhaka, July 11 -- Earth is expected to experience slightly shorter days in the coming weeks as the planet spins faster due to the changing position of the moon, according to a report by Live Science.

On July 9, July 22, and August 5, 2025, the moon's position is forecast to influence Earth's rotation, reducing each day's length by approximately 1.3 to 1.51 milliseconds from the standard 24 hours.

A typical Earth day lasts about 86,400 seconds, or 24 hours. However, scientists note that Earth's rotation is not perfectly consistent. It can be influenced by several factors including the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, the planet's magnetic field, and shifts in Earth's mass caused by natural or human-induced activities.
