The Month of June is just One Second longer
By: Tupaki Desk | 2 Jun 2015 4:29 PM GMT
June this year will be one second more than any normal day because of the Earth's rotation. As a result, The midnight coordinated Universal Time on June 30th will read 23 hr 59 min 60 sec instead of resetting to 00:00:00.
It was in 1972, Such a development took place for the first time ever. This is for the 26th time a second has been added to a day.
This unusual development gives an opportunity for those people born on June 30th to celebrate their birthday for one second longer.
Experts say, Tidal Forces between the Earth and the Moon slows down the rotation, eventually adding 1.4 milliseconds to our days every century. That's the reason a day lasted for just 23 hours in the dinosaurs era.
