Scientists predict when days will last 25 hours as 'Earth slows down'

Scientists think Earth is slowing down.

Scientists say a day could be 25 hours long in the future. The Earth is slowing down, but it's very slow.

The Earth and Moon are pulling on each other. This pull slows down the Earth.

A day is 24 hours, but Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle. Some days are a little longer or shorter.

A day is how long Earth takes to turn around. It takes about 23 hours and 56 minutes now.

The Moon controls the oceans with gravity. It makes the tides rise and fall as Earth spins.

There's more news about science, like getting married and life on Earth ending.

A day on Earth might get longer, scientists say.

The ocean and seafloor rub against each other, slowing down Earth. The Moon moves a little faster.

The Earth is moving away from the Moon. A day gets a bit longer as Earth slows down.

This change is very small, but it adds up over time. Earth could lose 40 seconds in a century.

The Earth's slowing is not regular. Climate change and the Earth's core make it hard to predict.

The Moon slows down the Earth.

Leap seconds help keep our time in sync with Earth's rotation. This is a standard way to keep time.

Atomic clocks and our time standard are not exactly the same. The last leap second was in 2016.

Scientists think there could be a 25-hour day in 200 million years. The Moon is not the only thing affecting Earth's rotation.

A study found that moving large amounts of ice and water can slow down the Earth. This makes the planet wobble.

These changes make the day longer. They've been happening since 1900.

The Earth has been slowing down faster since 2000. This is because of changes to the climate system.
