If so: Doesn't ''slower by a negative amount'' mean ''faster''? If "slower" is kept, I suggest removing the negative signs from the various phrases in this section. [[User:David10244|David10244]] ([[User talk:David10244|talk]]) 05:32, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
== Length of day ==
In the Process section, in the phrase "in 1972 the average length of day was approximately 86400.003 seconds and in 2016 it was approximately 86400.001 seconds, indicating an overall increase in Earth's rotation rate over that time period".
It seems like there's a decrease, not an increase, in the rotation rate, since there's a decrease in the "length of day"... if the length of a (rotational) day is measured in "atomic seconds". But I could be reading this wrong -- not sure. [[User:David10244|David10244]] ([[User talk:David10244|talk]]) 05:44, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
