Evolution of the Earth-Moon system

  • 1. Warsaw Univ. (Poland). Obserwatorium Astronomiczne

Description

Observations concerning the time-scale of the orbital evolution of the Earth-Moon system are presented. The results being obtained with different methods are compared. The most probable value characterizing this evolution - Moon's acceleration - equals 16''/century2, which corresponds to the increasing of Moon's distance 2.3 cm/year. It is proved that the results being obtained from the investigations of archaic corals are reliable. (author)
