The video explains how the gravitational pull of moon is slowing down the spin of Earth causing the days to lengthen.
Imagine a time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and a year had 370 days! Back then, our planet spun faster, making days shorter. But here's the twist: the Moon, with its invisible gravitational hands, is tugging on Earth, slowing down its spin like a cosmic brake. This cosmic slowdown adds about 1.7 milliseconds to each day every century, making days gradually longer. So, while we now have 365 days in a year, this slow dance between Earth and the Moon is stretching our days just a tiny bit longer over time.
