✦ Synopsis

The discrepancy between the observed apparent acceleration of the Moon in longitude (1) and the actual lunar laser ranging data (3), ( ) is of the order of -9 X lo-') rad s-*. It cannot be explained by the rms errors in ( ) and ( ), (4); processes connected with the internal Earth's dynamics and accelerating the Earth in its rotation might be responsible for the phenomenon, leading to the decreasing of the principal moment of the Earth's inertia --3.2 X 10z9 m2 kg cy".

Under the assumption that the secular decrease in the sidereal mean motion of Mercury is due to the Sun-Mercury tidal torque, the expansion of the orbit of Mercury and the tidal phase-lag angle of the tidal bulge are estimated.
