The Moon’s gravity keeps Earth’s rotation in check, and to do this the lunar satellite’s orbit must be slightly ahead of Earth’s. As the Moon attempts to regulate Earth’s rotation and slow it down, the Moon moves slowly away. According to Matthew Funke, solar system ambassador for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who wrote on Q+A website Quora: “The Moon’s gravity creates a tidal bulge on the Earth. This bulge attempts to rotate at the same speed as the rest of the planet. “As it moves ‘ahead’ of the Moon, the Moon attempts to pull it back. This slows the Earth’s rotation down. “One of the rules of the Universe is that ‘angular momentum’ can’t go anywhere — even if individual pieces speed up, slow down, or change direction, the sum total of angular momentum cannot change. The Earth loses angular momentum when the Moon slows it down, so the Moon has to gain it — and it does, by moving further away in its orbit Less than 50% Link- [link to www.express.co.uk (secure)] Bwahaha WTF ever.

The Earth is flat and does not move. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 63699695 i see someone didn't pay attention in high school geometry. if you could see the curvature of that body of water, then you would be living on the side of a cylinder. and of course you know that you cant see the water curving away from you, because you can't see over the horizon. so everything APPEARS flat... but i'm trying to explain basic geometry to a flat-earther, so i'm really the stupid one here |

I would think a land mass the size of Russia with every square inch of land mass providing a lot of thrust?? One very large planet with an iron core as close a few million miles away, will cause earth's iron core to react and stop rotating. When the large planet leaves the neighborhood, earth's rotation resumes. "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change" |

It was announced something like 20 years ago too, I've known about it ever since. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77356261 It is only perceived as a "bombshell" to the brain-dead social/AI generation, because the headline tells them how to think. SO, without further adieu, lets clickbait that shit: "Nasa scientists shocked at bombshell report that earth's rotation is slowing" 4 billion years ago a day was 6 hours long, its been slowing down ever since the moon formed. The sun gets hotter as it ages. In 800 mil it will be too hot to sustain life on earth.
