[quote:DUCM900:MV8yMDU5MDU4XzM0NjQwMzk3XzQ4Qjc2NzUy] [quote:Anonymous Coward 27389413:MV8yMDU5MDU4XzM0NjQwMTM2X0M2REI2QjIw] The key is that the Earth rotates faster than the moon orbits, the tidal bulge acts as a brake and slows the earths rotation. Since the total angular momentum has to remain constant over time the Moons orbit is accelerated and moves away from the Earth. [/quote] In which book did you find that? [/quote]
