Harvest Moon continues this evening, rising at sunset and setting at sunrise. Not that you asked, but the Moon is spiraling away from Earth at about 1.5in (4cm) per year. In response, Earth’s rotation is slowing down, requiring occasional leap seconds -- twenty-seven since 1972. — PolitiTweet.org

Earth turning within the oceanic tidal bugle caused by the Moon causes water to slosh on our coastlines. We experience this as the “tide coming in" and the "tide going out.” This, along with other factors such as earthquakes and melting glaciers, changes Earth’s rotation rate. — PolitiTweet.org
