When Earth was first formed about 4.5 billion years ago, a day lasted only about 6 to 8 hours. This shorter day length was due to the rapid rotation of the young Earth, which was a result of the accretion process and the conservation of angular momentum. As the planet cooled and geological processes, such as tidal interactions with the Moon, took place, the length of a day gradually increased over time.

How long will Antarctica last?

How long have paramecium been on earth?
Paramecium are single-celled organisms that were first discovered in the 17th century. Scientists believe paramecium have been around since the Earth was formed.

No one knows for sure. Although the first carbonic acid on earth formed naturally billions years ago.
How long can the earth last?
half a billion years left. But that does not mean that PEOPLE will last that long. ;-)
How long is Antarctic going to last for?
As one of the seven continents on Earth, it's a pretty good guess that Antarctica will last as long as the Earth lasts.
Which side does the sun cover first on earth?
There is no answer for this; the Sun has been shining for about 4.5 billion years, and the Earth has existed for about that long. As long as the Earth has been spinning (probably, since the collision that formed the Moon when the Earth was young) the Sun has been shining over the whole thing each day.
