Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

Tidal forces affect orbital motion. For example, Earth rotates eastward, and friction with the ocean bed drags the tidal bulges slightly eastward out of a direct Earth-Moon line. These tidal bulges are massive, and their gravitational field pulls the Moon forward in its orbit. As a result, the Moon's orbit is growing larger by about 3.8 cm a year. Earth's gravitation exerts tidal forces on the Moon, and friction within the flexing rock has slowed the Moon's rotation to the point that it now keeps the same face toward Earth.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
