The moon is drifting away from earth at a rate of about 38 millimeters per year. So in 1 million years, the moon will have drifted another 38 kilometers or abour 24 miles further from Earth.

Does Earth's moon move away from Earth by 4 cm per year?
Yes
What is the orbital period of the moon?
27.3 days around the earth.
What do you see when the sun lights the side of the moon facing away from earth?
That is the time of the new moon. You wouldn't actually see it except during a solar eclipse.
What are the name of Earth's moons?
The Earth has only one moon so the Earth's moon name is Moon, The Moon or it can be the Latin name "Luna".
What controls the tides?
The Moon's gravitational pull, as it goes around the Earth, makes the waters of the seas follow its motion. Also, on the opposite side of the Earth from the Moon, the seas have the least gravitational pull and seem to be pushed away from the moon. Because of these two gravitational effects, there are two high tides for each orbit of the Moon around the Earth. As the Moon orbits the Earth almost every twenty-four hours, there are two tides every day.
How many light years is it to the moon?
The moon is about 0.0000000406 light years away from earth.
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.
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.
How far does the moon move away from the Earth in on year?
About 1 second away every 50,000 years
How many lightyears is the moon from the earth?
The moon is about 0.0000000406 light years away from earth. Clearly, the moon is MUCH too close (238,000 or 239,000 miles or so) for the distance to be rendered meaningfully in light years.
Which is near to the earth sun or moon?
The moon is much closer to the earth that the sun. The moon is about 239,000 miles away. The sun is about 93,000,000 miles away.
How many years from the earth to the moon?
It's only 3 days. The moon is very close at roughly 240,000 miles away.
How far away is the Moon from Earth this month?
I want to know the exact date the moon is furthest away from the earth.
Was the moon closer to earth one thousand years ago than it is today?
Yes it was. At current, the moon is moving away from the earth at an average of about 1 inch per year.
How much does the moon move away from earth each year?
The moon moves about 4cm away from the earth each year. This is because the moons orbit around the earth is tilted about 5 degrees. The moon is spiraling away from the earth and one day we might not have a moon.
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.
How far away form the earth is the moon in km?
The moon is 384,400 kilometers away.
