8 More like due to the moon.

Because the Earth is doing the work of increasing the Moon's momentum, the Earth's rotation slows down in turn, as its momentum goes to the Moon. To put it another way, as the Moon's orbital momentum increases, the Earth's rotational momentum decreases in exchange. This exchange makes a day get very slightly longer.

10 These so called 'scientists' need to stop asking them mirror if they are stupid and really dig deep and ask, "Why am I not even human?" Cause only a negative IQ can come up with this level of stupidity.
