Scientists have discovered that as the moon drifts away from the Earth, the length of a day has slowly been increasing.
A group of researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has concluded that over the course of millions of years, the gravitational pull between the Earth and its only natural satellite has been weakening.
This connection breakdown has apparently resulted in our planet spinning slower and has thus allowed the moon to pull sway at a snail’s pace.
