Want this question answered?
The moon does slowly move away from earth at an estimated two inches every year, it is a possibility that (if you believe in the apocalypse) the cause for the fall of Earth is the moon losing its orbit with earth and drifting away.
If the Moon moved a bit closer or farther away from the Earth, it would still orbit the Earth.
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.
I want to know the exact date the moon is furthest away from the earth.
A long long time ago, just a few miles away....... about everyone did.
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.
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.
The moon is 384,400 kilometers away.
The average distant from Earth to the Moon is about 238,874 miles
The moon orbits the earth. It is 238855 miles away from earth.
The Moon is closer at 384400 km (0.0026 AU) away from Earth while the Sun is 150000000 KM (1 AU) from Earth.
If the hemisphere that is 'lit' is facing away from the earth then it is a new moon
