    Fun Fact/Trivia

    Even the Earth wanted 2020 to be over in a hurry: Our planet spun faster than normal last year. The Earth’s rotation can change slightly because of the movement of its core and also, surprisingly, because of weather and ocean patterns. As noted on LiveScience, the Earth’s 28 fastest days on record (since 1960) all occurred in 2020, with Earth completing its revolutions around its axis milliseconds quicker than average.
