the moon receeds a few centimeters a year, So, the answer is NO. Why? Well, the moon formed because something hit Earth. Now, physics says that if two object collide, the energy expended in the collision is going to be sent outwards in an equal amount. So, the moon is getting farther away because the collision with Earth sent it flying.

Will the sun ever crash into the Earth?
No
If there was no Sun could the Moon crash into Earth?
No, since Earth is much closer to the Moon than the Sun, the suns gravitational effect on the Moon's orbit is negligible.
Is the earth to things?
a long time ago a plant crash into earth and it became earth and a piece of it become the moon
Has scientists ever found an asteroid that will crash into Earth in the future?
No.No.No.No.
Why does the moon not crash on earth but stay in space and not float away or into earth?
The moon and other planets and their satellites are held in space by the force of gravity from other planets and satellites. If the moon tried to drift off into space, gravitational forces from the Earth will keep it from floating away. It doesn't crash into the Earth because planets and moons pull AGAINST each other and keep each other from drifting away.* * * * *Only partly true.The moon does not float away because of the action of earth's gravity - whether you view this as a force or a distirtion of space-time in the moon's path.The moon does not crash into the earth, not because of other planets or satellites, but because of the momentum of its orbit around the earth.
Can near earth asteroids crash into the moon?
Yes as a matter of fact they can hit the Moon. Take a look at the Moon through a telescope and you will see what I mean.
Did sputnik crash into the moon?
No. All the sputniks were in fairly low-Earth orbits, and wouldn't have been able to get anywhere near the Moon.
Does the earth and the moon have craters?
Yes!! Rocks and other space objects crash into them all the time!!
Where is Halley's comet going to crash?
A Comet is a body in perpetual orbit. A Meteorite is a body which enters the Earth's atmosphere. It is unlikely that Halley's Comet will ever crash into the Earth.
Is a human ever been on a planet?
The Moon and Earth
Do you ever see the other side of the moon from earth?
no,
If the moon fell where would it land?
It wouldn't fall, per say. The Moon would crash into the planet Earth, ending all life.
