-- It'll appear smaller in the sky.
-- It'll take longer to go through a full cycle of phases.
-- High tides on Earth will be lower. Low tides on Earth will be higher.
Techincally speaking that would never happen. The moon would have to be VERY close to the Earth. The moon moves away from the earth 1.75 inches away from the earth each year, making the hours of the day longer. If the moon did orbit the earth in one day, this would happen around the time period the moon formed in space.
... as the earth moves? as in, an earthquake? Sorry, honey, but the sun and the moon have NOTHING to do with that.
The moon moves away from Earth at a rate of approximately 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) per year due to tidal forces. This gradual drift is caused by the transfer of Earth's rotational energy to the moon's orbital motion.
This is not a question, but an incomplete sentence.
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.
A solar eclipse is when the moon moves in front of the sun casting a shadow on earth. A lunar eclipse is when the earth moves in front of the sun so the moon gets no light

When the Moon moves away from between the Sun and Earth, a solar eclipse ends, and the full brightness of the Sun is no longer obscured. The Moon's movement allows sunlight to be fully visible again from Earth, ending the eclipse phenomenon.
The answer is different depending on who you ask. Some astronomer say the moon moves about one centimeter away from Earth each year. Others say about an inch to an inch and a half.
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.
New moon. No, no, no. It is an eclipse of the moon. ( A new moon is when the illuminated face of the moon faces away from the earth, and as it moves around in its orbit you catch a glimpse of a tiny arc of its illuminated surface).
It is waxing until it reaches Full Moon and then it wanes again.
