And due to things such as orbital drifting, the spot where Earth is supposed to be on December 31st 2024 23:59:59.999 GMT won't be the same spot where Earth was exactly 365.256363004 days earlier. Sun's also moving, orbiting around the center of the Milky Way, which is also moving, oversimplifiedly, towards the Laniakea supercluster. Every spot Earth lies on every December 31st is definitely an entire uncharted spot.
