Longer Days on Planet Earth by M.P. Pellicer

 In the last 1.4 billion years the moon has moved further from the earth, increasing the length of a day by six hours, thus days are 30% longer.

The moon has been drifting slowly away from Earth at a rate of 1.5 inches per year, and the effect is longer days. The weakening pull of the planet's only natural satellite has resulted in a slower spin, and thus it takes longer for a complete 360° rotation to take place.
