The shortest day in history.
Souce
The shortest day in history has been recorded and it was this July 29, it has been known that the rotational movement of the earth slows down and has left scientists baffled with the reduction of 1.59 milliseconds, this is almost insignificant , but it is outside the average values of history.

The earth is not a perfect sphere, it is very slightly flattened at the poles. In the case of our planet, the equatorial radius is 6,378 kilometers, while the polar radius is 6,356 kilometers.

On the displacement of the axis of rotation of our planet, NASA's JPL published a study in 2018, in that study it pointed out that the three main responsible for the movement are first the recent loss of ice mass from the Greenland cap, second rebound post glacial, which is the elimination of the enormous weight of the ice sheets of the last glacial period and third, the convection of the earth's mantle, that is, the movements of currents of hot material that are produced under the crust and that end up influencing the displacement of tectonic plates, plates on which the continents and oceans sit.
