The teacher blathered on and on and on about the solar system. What is the figurative language being showed here

Hyperbole

Explanation:

The hyperbole, also called auxese, is a figure of speech used in figurative language. This type of figure of speech represents an expression of dramatic exaggeration in the sentence.
