Weather of Arabia - A study by scientists from the German Technical University of Munich revealed that the Earth’s day will become 25 hours instead of 24 after about 200 million years , which will lead to reducing the number of days in the year to 350 instead of 365. The study indicated that time will increase by one minute every 3.3 million years. .

What is the reason for the change in the Earth's rotation speed?

The change in the speed of the Earth's rotation is due to several factors, including the presence of a mixture of different solids and liquids, in addition to the influence of the Moon. Scientists previously knew that time changes by two seconds every hundred years, but using modern observatory techniques and advanced algorithms, they were able to determine this change. More precisely, it is 1.8 milliseconds over 200 million years.

Since the beginning of the Earth's inception 4.6 billion years ago, its rotation around itself and around the Sun has been much faster. With time, this rotation began to gradually slow down, and the Moon, which was closer to Earth in the past, plays a major role in slowing down the Earth's rotation, as it moves away from Earth by a few centimeters. every year, which continues to affect the speed of its rotation.

Where will the increase be, at night or during the day?

It is expected that the increase in hours will be distributed between day and night, and that this distribution will vary geographically according to geographical location, whether it is close to the North Pole or the equator.

All of these changes indicate that the future is full of unexpected possibilities and opportunities, where technical developments, such as artificial intelligence, can open new doors for creativity and innovation.
