The rotation of the Earth is slowing down due to the gravitational pull of the Moon, causing the length of a day to increase gradually

It's estimated that in about 50 billion years, the length of a day on Earth will be over 1,000 hours

The moon is 1/400th the size of the sun, but it's also 1/400th the distance away from Earth

This is why the sun and moon look like they're the same size; an alignment not shared by any other known planet-moon combination.
