No. Just the opposite. The earth's rotation is slowing down because of the gravitational force between the earth and the moon. The day is getting longer by something like a millisecond (0.001 second) every hundred years.

What causes the moon to speed up or slow down slightly in its orbit?

The moon's orbit can be influenced by various factors, including gravity from other celestial bodies, such as the sun and Earth. The gravitational pull from these bodies can slightly speed up or slow down the moon's orbital speed. Additionally, the shape of the moon's orbit around Earth is not a perfect circle, which can cause variations in its speed as it moves closer or farther away from Earth during its orbit.


What happens when moon revolves around the sun?

The Moon actually orbits the Earth which in turn orbits the Sun. Two effects of the Moon orbiting the Earth are... 1 It causes the tides of the sea. 2 It stabilises the plane of Earths rotation. (Helps the North Pole stay pointed Up) 3 It shows phases.

Who came up with the moon?

The moon was created when another planet slammed into Earth - the Earths gravity captured the particles and the formed to become our moon.


How long does a moon stay up in the sky?

The moon stays up in the sky on average for about 12 hours, just like the sun. It rises in the east, moves across the sky, and sets in the west. However, the exact length of time it is visible can vary depending on its phase and the time of year.


Does Airplanes Have to keep up with earths rotation when traveling over seas?

No. An airplane with weak, medium, or strong engines flies slow, medium, orfast through the air, and the air is keeping up with the Earth's rotation.

What appears to revolve around Polaris due to earth's rotation?

Due to the vast distance between the earth and polaris, the earths axis of rotation essentially lines up with polaris at all times, so when the stars are visible, and viewed from the north pole, the earths rotation causes the stars to appear to rotate around polaris.
