Earth Day: The moon is far away from the earth.. 25 hours a day in the future.. because?

Earth Day : Moon is one of the closest planets to our planet.. The Moon has an affinity with Earth. How many songs we used to sing Chandamama Rave.. Zabilli Rave when we were children.. But now that moon is moving away from the earth. According to this, the current 24 hours will be counted as 25 hours in the coming days. Scientists say that as the Moon moves away from our planet, the length of a day on Earth increases by up to 25 hours.

No more 24 hours.. 25 hours :

According to research, the moon is receding from the earth at a rate of about 3.8 cm per year. This suggests that over time 25 hours per day would have formed over 200 million years. A day on Earth was just over 18 hours long when the moon was closest 1.4 billion years ago, the study revealed.

As the distance between the Earth and the Moon increases, the time of day on our planet will also increase. The study team focused on a 90-million-year-old rock structure. It predicts the changes between the Earth and the Moon. According to this, the moon is moving away from the earth by 3.8 centimeters per year. Scientists predict that this period will change to 25 hours a day in the future.

According to Stephen Meyers, professor of geosciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, “As the Moon moves away… the Earth is like a spinning figure skater.” Another professor who studies the relationship between the Moon and the Earth said.. “The tidal drag on the Earth reduces its rotation.

“The Moon gets energy like angular momentum,” David Waltham, professor of geophysics at Royal Holloway, University of London, told Bloomberg. Currently, the Moon is an average of 384,400 km (238,855 miles) from Earth. It takes about one month for the moon to revolve around the earth.. ie.. it takes about 27.3 days to complete one orbit around our planet.
