Earth is Spinning with a Negative Leap Second

• What if on 31st December 2021 at 115959
  PM, someone says that the very next second will
  not lead to 2022, and everyone has to wait for
  one more second. Yes, due to some mishaps, the
  time is one second behind from its natural work.
  Strange, isnt it? Even at the same time, some
  may start cheering for 2022. But, with the latest
  information, something is happening at the
  planetary level that is affecting time. Due to
  some atmospheric pressure and rotation of Earth
  around its axis has opened much discourse for
  more time adjustments apart from leap years. In
  this article, we will explore more details about
  this latest development in the domain of science.
  It is essential to understand how Earth spins
  with a negative leap second. Hence, it means it
  is rotating a bit faster than its standard rate.

• How did the news break out?
• From 1960 till 2020, 28 instances are present
  when the planet Earth has been slower or faster
  to complete the revolutions around the Sun in its
  orbit. The current acceleration data has led
  scientists to think about Earths spin on its
  axis. The observation is clear that Earth spins
  with a negative leap second. Hence, a second gets
  subtracted with such results. On average, the
  length of a day in terms of seconds is 86400.
  However, it will now get adjusted by 50
  microseconds. So, in 2021, an astronomical day
  will be 0.05 milliseconds shorter.
• Factors that influence the time
• The primary reason behind time adjustment is
  Earth rotation. But, the rotation of Earth
  depends on several factors, including
• Ocean Currents
• Atmospheric Pressure
• Direction of the Wind
• Movement of the Core elements (NiFe nickel, and
  iron)
• Tectonic movements (on a miniature scale)

• How many times leap seconds are adjusted?
• As per the information available from the
  National Institute of Standards and Technology,
  scientists usually add leap seconds in every one
  and a half years on an aggregate basis. The last
  time when the leap second got adjusted was in
  2016. On the eve of New Year, an extra leap
  second got added. In general trend, an addition
  of a leap second happens during the deviation of
  UTC by more than 0.4 seconds. This deviation is
  due to the astronomical change in setting  the
  time to complete Earths one rotation.
• Is this a rare case?
• Yes, it is. Usually, there has been the addition
  of a leap second. But, it is the first instance
  when humanity has to shrink the time scale.
  Because of the results giving the inference that
  Earth spins with a negative leap second, there
  will be subtraction. According to Prof. Peter
  Whibberley of the National Physics Laboratory,
  this negative leap second has started a new
  debate.
• Conclusion
• It is quite unique for humanity when the clock
  adjustments will witness contraction for the
  first time. Earth spins with a negative leap
  second is in itself one of the intriguing
  scientific events in the course of scientific
  history. This negative leap second also raises
  many eyes that look upon the integration of
  artificial intelligence and machine learning to
  understand the pattern and forecast such
  adjustments so that there cannot be any mishap.
  Also, the time has come to understand whether
  current anthropogenic factors influence the
  atmospheres chemical composition. These may,
  somewhere, also affect its pressure and, in turn,
  result in time adjustments. Hence, any human
  activity can also be a potential indicator to
  bring time adjustments due to positive or
  negative leap seconds.
