Time on Earth will be 25 hours, this is the reason

LONDON – Time on Earth in the end it will last for 25 hours has a scientific basis.

Tidal friction caused by the Moon is one of the main factors that slows down the Earth’s rotation, resulting in days on Earth getting longer.

This effect does occur very slowly. It is estimated that it took about 200 million years for Earth to have a 25-hour day.

As reported by Science Alert, therefore, in the near future, we do not need to worry about drastic changes in day length.

However, this slowing of the Earth’s rotation has impacts that scientists still do not fully understand.

Currently, they are still studying how this could affect Earth’s climate, oceans and life on the planet.

Scientists have predicted that a day on Earth will eventually reach 25 hours, although it will take millions of years to do so. Currently, days on Earth are lengthening by about 1.8 milliseconds per century.

While it may seem slow, this rate means one minute is added to the day every 3.3 million years. It would take 200 million years to add another hour to the day.

This change is caused by the influence of the moon. The moon’s gravity pulls on the side of Earth closest to it, producing tides and causing the planet to bulge. Because the Earth rotates faster than the moon’s orbit, these tidal bulges move faster than the moon’s relative position.
