The length of Earth’s day is increasing.

When Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago, its day would have been roughly six hours long. By 620 million years ago a day was around 22 hours. Today, the average day is 24 hours long, but is increasing by about 1.7 milliseconds every century. The reason? The moon is slowing down Earth’s rotation through the tides that it helps create.

The amount the days are changing is so small though that you won’t notice it in a lifetime.
