According to the study, when the earth was in the period of ‘Boring Billion’, the moon played an important role. Being very close to the earth, the moon firmly enhanced a gravitational stretch and helped reduce the rotational energy of the Earth over time. Not only this, the Moon made itself far away from the earth.
The two scientists analyzed geological data to reach their conclusion. This data has been collected in recent years, so that the earth can be understood in a better way. The model of scientists has also revealed the Snobal Phase of the Earth. It is called the period when our planet would have been accumulated. The model of scientists states that Earth’s snoball phase was between 2 to 1 billion years.
The study states that the level of oxygen on the earth increased in that era. The ozone layer was formed. Activities caused by the ozone layer, the strong gravitational stretch of the earth and the moon was balanced and has stabilized the rotation of the earth. Researchers have estimated that during that period, photocythtic bacteria increased and the Earth created favorable conditions to flourish on the earth.
The distance between the Moon and the Earth used to be reduced in the past, this has also been revealed in other researches. Scientists have estimated that the distance between Moon and Earth would have been 60 thousand kilometers less. He believes that the distance which is 384,400 km today was 321,800 km, two and a half billion years ago and the length of the day was 16.9 hours instead of 24 hours. Researchers say that billions of years ago, the Moon was in reality close to our planet and now it is gradually getting away.
