How far will the moon have receded from the earth in 1000 years?

It seems that the Moon recedes from Earth at a rate of 38 mm a year.
That makes it 38,000 mm in 1000 years.
That's 38 meters.

What is the current age of the earth?
The earth is roughly 4.5 billion years old. We know this to be the case because we have dated rocks from the moon that old, and earth must be at least as old as our moon.
Why is the moon slower than the earth?
Now, stop and think about that question for a minute. If the moon was slower than the Earth, wouldn't it be really far behind us after 4 billion years?
What is the distance between earth and heaven?
The same as between the Moon and the Earth. The distance from the clouds to the surface of the Earth is insignificant, compared to the Moon-Earth distance.The same as between the Moon and the Earth.

Does earth's moon have a hydrosphere?
Yes, earth's moon has a hydrosphere.
What is the reason for moon's circular motion around the earth?
Earth exerts a pull on the moon, which keeps it orbiting the Earth. Since the Earth is so big compared to the moon, it pulls the moon toward it. In a sense, the moon is falling towards the Earth, but since the moon is also moving forwards, it ends up going around and around the Earth.
In ancient times the Moon was farther from Earth and solar eclipses would appear more often?
The Moon has not receded from the Earth by any visible amount since the dawn of human history. However, millions of years ago, the Moon was closer to Earth, not farther away. Eclipses would have still appeared about twice a year, but some of the partial or annular eclipses might have been total, way back when.
Do astronomers know what the moon phase will be in a 1000 years?
Yes. One thousand years is like the blink of an eye to the Earth and the Moon; a thousand years from now, we know exactly what the phases of the Moon will be. The NASA Eclipse Web Page even has eclipse calculations for the year 3000 AD.
How many light years is it to the moon?
The moon is about 0.0000000406 light years away from earth.
How did they know the distance the moon was from earth 1 billion years ago?
One billion years ago there were no humans on earth, so 'they' didn't know the distance from the moon to the earth.
What is the orbital period of the moon in earth years?
the orbital period of Saturn in earth years are 89years
What is the age of the moon and earth?
The Earth is 4.567 billion years old. The moon is thought to be a little younger at 4 billion years, since it is believed to be a spin off of the Earth's formation.
How far the moon from Earth in light years?
The distance to the moon is about 1.3 light seconds or about 0.000000032 light years.
Were the moon came from?
as other people say moon come from the earth so it means that when the earth was formed millions years ago something hit earth and a part of earth riped apart and that was the moon
Will the earth and the moon join?
Not hardly. The moon is moving away from the Earth at a rate of a few inches per year. In about 25000 years, the moon may have the potential to escape the gravity of the Earth.
Did the earth capture our moon?
We do not know for sure. However current thinking is that the mood is the result of a body about the size of Mars impacting the proto Earth. This resulted in the cores of the two bodies amalgamating and a "splash" of lighter material being flung off. This "splash" settles into orbit round the Earth and coalesced to form the Moon. At its formation the Moon was much closer to the earth than it is now and spun quite fast. Over time the moon has receded from the Earth (at the expense of the Earth's spin speed) and has itself been tidally captured by the Earth such that it now has a synchronous orbital and rotational period.
Is the moon's years the same as ours?
Yes. The moon goes around the sun with Earth.
Why does the moon get closer to the earth every 11 years?
The moon is not getting closer but further
