Earth Rotation Visualization

An interactive data visualization showing how Earth's rotation is accelerating, leading to shorter days and the potential for negative leap seconds.

Overview

This visualization presents three interconnected charts that illustrate the changing nature of Earth's rotation:

1. Shortest Days Chart - Shows record-breaking short days measured in milliseconds shorter than 24 hours
2. Leap Seconds by Decade - Displays the historical trend of leap seconds and predictions for future negative leap seconds
3. Rotation Factors - Explains the various natural phenomena affecting Earth's rotation speed
