In the next 200 million years, the Earth's rotation will slow down, so one day may extend to 25 hours.

news agency com.dailymail The research revealed the relationship between the Earth and the Moon, it turned out that the Moon is constantly rotating away from our planet. There is a change in the force of gravity on Earth. It made our world rotate slower and the length of the day will be longer. Scientists have predicted that the world may rotate around itself in a complete revolution. From 24 hours in the current day, it will become 25 hours in about 200 million years.

Stephen Myers, a professor of geology at the University of Wisconsin in the United States, explains why the Earth's rotation is taking longer and longer. As the Moon orbits away from the Earth

Currently, the Moon is a satellite of Earth. It is about 238,000 miles, or 1.609 million kilometers, away from our planet and takes 27.3 days to orbit the Earth once. However, from previous research studies, scientists have found that the Moon is receding from our planet at about 1.5 inches per year.

Which means the Moon takes longer to complete a full orbit around the Earth. By Professor Myers Researchers have reconstructed the deep history of the relationship between the Earth and the Moon. They found that 1,400 million years ago, our world made a full rotation, or one day, in just 18 hours.
