Moon Gravity

Posted on

The moon’s gravitational pull maintains the Earth’s rotation at a 24 hour day. If there was no moon, an Earth day would only be 1 and a half hours long. Shoes and sidewalks would need to be magnetized, otherwise people and animals would spin off into the Sun. Another Fun Fact from Mr. Science.

50 million years ago, the earth rotated much faster. So rather than 24 hours to a day, there were 4 hours to a day.
12 million years from now, the earth will spin much slower, lengthening an earth day to 80 hours per day, resulting in employees always receiving double overtime pay.
