Scientists claim Moon is drifting away from Earth at 3.8 centimetres a year. What will happen to the planet as it goes further?
The Moon is gradually distancing itself from Earth, which has significant implications for our planet. Over millions of years, this migration will result in extended daylight hours and the end of total solar eclipses. Furthermore, the weakened tides will disrupt coastal ecosystems and marine life. As the Moon ascends to a higher orbit, Earth’s rotation continues to decelerate, marking a slow but profound transformation in our natural environment.
