During the spring, the length of the day (in the northern hemisphere) is increasing because the Earth is moving in its orbit around the sun, closer to the point at which the northern hemisphere is pointed toward the sun by 23 and a half degrees (the axial tilt) which gives it more daylight and less night.

What would happen if the earths rate of rotation decreased what would increase?

The length of the day


Why and how was the length of the day just Eighteen to Nineteen hours per day in the previous geological ages?

The moon is effecting the Earth via tides. Over million of years the friction of the oceans and the Earth is slowing down its rotation causing the length of the day to increase. Eventually the Earth will have the same length of day and month, but that would be hundreds of millions of years from now.


What change would occur if the earths rotation significantly decreased?

The length of a day would increase and the number days in a year would decrease.

Cloud the pendulum be changed to increase the period of the pendulum?

Yes. You can increase the period by moving the pendulum to a location where the gravitational force is weaker.Alternatively, you can increase the effective length of the pendulum. The pendulum may be of fixed length, but you can still increase its effective length by adding mass to any point below its centre of gravity.Yes.
