January 1, 2025 is predicted to be 0.0812 ms (milliseconds) or 0.0000812 seconds shorter than 24 hours. this is the time it takes Earth to rotate 3.78 cm (1.49 in), as measured at the equator, which means the day will last:
23.9999999774 hours or
24 hours minus 0.08 ms
on average, a mean solar day in the last 365 days from January 1, 2025 was -0.10 ms under 24 hours, so this length is above average, and over this period, 178 days have been longer than today, while 188 have been shorter than today.
