| Abstract: | Some expansion phenomena in the immediate vicinity of the Earth and their influence on the Earth's angular momentum are considered. It is noted that the tidal mechanism which is traditionally used to explain the lunar retreat is actually unfounded. These expansion effects are compared with the Hubble expansion of the universe and their similarity is shown. A way for the solution of the lunar retreat paradox is suggested combining the tidal effects and Hubble expansion. An increase of the Earth-Sun distance is predicted and the rate of this removal is estimated.Published in Astrofizika, Vol. 38, No. 4, pp. 667–674, October–December, 1995. |
