The LLR result is consistent with analyses made with different data spans, different analysis techniques, analysis of optical observations, and independent knowledge of tides. Plate motions change ocean shapes, and geological evidence and model calculations indicate lower rates of tidal evolution for extended past intervals. Earth rotation has long-term slowing due to tidal dissipation, but it also experiences variations for times up to about 10<sup>5</sup> yr due to changes in the moment of inertia. An analysis of LLR data also tests for any rate of change in either the speed of light <i>c</i> or apparent mean distance. The result is (-2.8 ± 3.4)×10<sup>-12</sup> /yr for either scale rate or -(d<i>c</i>/d<i>t</i>)/<i>c</i>, or equivalently -1.0 ± 1.3 mm/yr for apparent distance rate. The lunar range does not reveal any change in the speed of light.</p>","PeriodicalId":91593,"journal":{"name":"Planetary science","volume":"3 ","pages":"2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1186/s13535-014-0002-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34359943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
