Why is earth's rotation slowing down?
The Earth's rotation is gradually slowing primarily due to tidal interactions with the Moon, which act like a brake on the planet's spin.
The Moon's gravity creates tidal bulges in Earth's oceans. As the Earth rotates, these bulges are slightly ahead of the Moon due to Earth's faster spin. The Moon's gravity pulls back on these bulges, exerting a torque that gradually reduces Earth's rotational speed, converting rotational energy into heat through friction. This process also causes the Moon to slowly recede from Earth at about 1.5 inches per year.
