Technical University of Munich (TUM) has discovered that the hours of the day on the earth is going to be extended, that is from 24 hours to 25 hours. The scientists at TUM University announced this after understanding the earth's rotation through rotational dynamics. The long-old belief of a day with 24 hours will come to an end in the future. The inconsistency is due to the heterogeneous composition of the Earth, which is a blend of various liquids and solids.
With the new time scale, we should also understand that the climate will change with this change of time scale. It's an urgent need to understand climate models like El Nino, said one of the scientists Ulrich Schreiber. The race track which is fixed underneath the earth has given the laser readings, which explains that there is a variance in the earth's rotation.

But the time changes because the Moon is drifting away from the planet. The Moon is receding from the Earth at approximately 3.8 cm per year. In the research, it is significantly said that in 200 million years, the earth will see the day of 25 hours. The research also revealed that the day was only 18 hours 41 minutes in some 1.4 billion years ago, as the Moon drifted far from the Earth the day length is being increased, and the length between Earth and the Moon is being increased. There is also a study that says that in the dinosaur era, the day was only 23 hours long. With the new spin and change in rotation, many parts of the world, which didn't see the sun, will see the light and vice versa. The climate and weather patterns will also see a change resulting in changes in the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere as well. The deflection will also change the ocean currents.

Stephen Meyers, professor of geoscience at the University of Wisconsin Madison explained the phenomenon, saying that Earth is spinning like a figure skater and will slow down. One of our ambitions was to use astrochronology to tell time in the most distant past, to develop very ancient geological time scales, he added, according to money control. Besides this, Royal Holloway professor of geophysics at the University of London, David Waltham has explained how the earth's rotation is down and the moon is gaining the energy of angular momentum. Currently, Earth is located an average of 384400 km away from the Moon, which is roughly 27 days to complete a single orbit. But when it is far, the time will also further increase.
