NASA: Earth's Day Lengthening to 25 Hours Due to Climate Change
- •NASA scientists claim Earth's rotation is slowing, potentially extending a day to 25 hours.
- •Climate change is identified as the primary factor behind the decreasing rotational speed.
- •Research analyzed 120 years of data, showing Earth's rotational axis shifting and speed decreasing by milliseconds.
- •The impact of climate change on Earth's speed has been increasing since 2000.
- •This change is not imminent; scientists estimate it will take approximately 200 million years for a day to reach 25 hours.
Why It Matters: Earth's day is slowly lengthening due to climate change, but a 25-hour day is millions of years away.
