Line 176: 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) :I believe you are reading this wrong. Consider a simpler example: a ball spins at a rate of one rotation every 2 seconds. In order to make the ball spin at a rate of one rotation every second (decreasing the rotation time) you must increase the rotation rate.
