What happens when the speed of rotation of the earth slows down?

Answer 1

At the current spin-rate, day is 86400 seconds. Slower rate will increase duration of the day above this level and, correspondingly, the days in a year of revolution about the Sun will decrease. , .

The speed of rotation about the Earth's day-night spin axis is how I understand it.

The modifications will be as indicated in the response, with the second duration remaining constant.

The parameter a = semi-major axis of the elliptic orbit will increase if the orbital speed is slower. For the current eccentricity, one AU will be longer.

The parameters 'a and e' (or 'b and e' or 'average speed and e', or perihelion and aphelion' or 'orbital period and another') relate to every aspect of the orbit.

Days grow longer and nights get shorter when the Earth's rotation slows down. This slowing down can be brought about by a number of things, including geological processes, tidal friction, and shifts in the planet's mass distribution.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
