One day on Earth is about 25 hours
According to calculations by scientists, the Moon is gradually moving away from the Earth has made a day on the green planet becomes longer and is expected to have 25th hour appeared.
The Earth will have the 25th hour because the Moon is gradually leaving.
In a new study conducted by the US National Academy of Sciences, scientists have shown how the Moon affects the day on Earth.
Specifically, 1.4 billion years ago, the Moon was very close to the Earth and a day at that time only lasted about 18 hours. Until now, one day has been 24 hours and the Moon is still moving away from the blue planet at 3.82cm / year.
According to calculations by University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor Geography Stephen Meyers, if the Moon keeps such a speed away from Earth, time will last 2 milliseconds per century. This means that, in the next 200 million years, there will be the 25th hour of occurrence with the same time scales.
Besides, Professor Meyers also affirmed, if at that time, people still exist, they will definitely have to re-divide the time zone to suit the external situation.
