Madison: New study reports that the moon is slowly moving away from the earth. The result of the research is that every year the moon is moving away from the earth by 3.8 cm. Researchers warn that a day on Earth will increase from 24 to 25 hours in the future due to changes in the Moon.
A group of researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the United States has released this report after scientific studies and analysis. There will be people who wonder what is wrong with the earth because the moon is moving away from the earth. The effect of this is that in 200 million years a day on Earth will increase to 25 hours.
The study shows that 1.4 billion years ago, a day on Earth lasted only 18 hours. This phenomenon lies in relation to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Moon. Although the changes in the moon have been studied for ages, the University of Wisconsin-Madison study provides an in-depth analysis of the historical and geological background of this phenomenon. Further research on this topic will be conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Professor Stephen Meyers, a professor of geosciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, argues that the Earth's speed will slow down as the Moon recedes. Further studies are needed to determine whether the difference in Earth-Moon distance has any other effects.
