 A specific time includes a date and a clock time describing a specific Earth rotation around the Sun and specific Earth rotation around itself. The Earth's rotation around the Sun are influenced by it's elliptical orbit. The Earth rotation around itself called a solar day<ref>[[w:Solar day|Solar day]]</ref> are slowly decreasing, increasing the length of the day.
