1) It has to, since Earth is slowing down, due to conservation of rotational momentum. The rotational momentum has to go somewhere.
2) In recent years, it has been possible to measure the distance to the Moon with an accuracy of centimeters. These measurements confirm the theory, that the Moon is moving away from us. From the Wikipedia article about the Moon: "Measurements from lunar ranging experiments with laser reflectors left during the Apollo missions have found that the Moon's distance to the Earth increases by 38 mm per year..."
What else can I help you with?
Is the moon moving closer to the Earth or farther away?
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.
Is the Black Eye galaxy moving toward away or neither from Earth?
The Black Eye Galaxy [See Link] has a redshift of 0.001361, so it is moving away from us. Currently at 24 million light years from Earth
how distance to a galaxy and speed are related?
Relationship between distance of galaxy and its speed is that galaxies are moving away from the Earth at velocities proportional to their distance. In other words, the further they are the faster they are moving away from us.
Is it true that the farther away from Earth a galaxy is the slower it is moving?
incorrect. The farther away from earth a galaxy is, the faster it is moving.
Is the sun farther away from the earth in winter?
no, the tilt of the earth means you are further away on the earth
Is earth farther away from the sun in the winter?
no, the tilt of the earth means you are further away on the earth
What does the red shift tell scientists?
The redshift tells scientists how fast a star or galaxy is moving away from us.
Over millions of years the moon is moving further away from the earth what will happen to the gravitational attraction between the moon and the earth as the moon gets further away?
As the moon gets further and further away, the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon decreases. Because the Moon is not being attracted but being pushed away from the Earth. If the gravitational force would have increased, the moon would come closer and closer to the Earth.
Is the sun a millon miles away from earth?
Actually, scientists are certain the sun is about 93 million miles away from earth.
Does a red shift means that are moving closer to earth?
No. A red shift indicates that the object is moving away from the earth.
When will the moon stop moving away from the earth?
never
In which direction are nearly all galaxies moving relative to earth?
they are moving in all directions away, toward, sideways relative to EarthNearly all galaxies are moving away from the Earth. This is because the universe is expanding.
