Default The Earth as on a Rotisserie

OK we know 65 million years ago the Earth's spin made the day have 30
minutes longer than today's. At this spacetime with the Moon and Sun
pulling on the Earth's waters,and making for slower spin,can this add to
its heat? In 2 billion years what will be Earth's rate of spin? What if
it only spun once around in a month? Kind of scarey Bert

Haven't you got that backwards?

It must. Friction, you know.

It is estimated that the ultimate length of both the day and the month
will be 50 of our current days. But it is likely that the Earth will
be roasted by a red giant Sun before that happens.

Earth won't roast.
As Sun grows, so will Earth's distance from it.

Hmm... and i've always thought that in about 5 billion years the
inner planets would be vaporized and engulfed by our red-giant
wannabee Sun. Where did you read that the Earth won't roast
but would enjoy an increased distance, Mark?

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

I didn't read it anywhere, I just know it's true, because as the Sun loses
mass,
there will be less force tugging on the Earth, and it will move further
away.

Also, the Sun will have its mass more spread out, and this too will cause
the Earth to attempt to orbit the Sun in a more "spead out" fashion.

Double-A Days were 30 minutes shorter.(right) That was in the
spacetime of dinosaurs. I wonder how fast theEarth was spinning when it
was in a liquid state,say 3.5 billion years ago? Bert
