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.
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.
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 moon is already drifting away from Earth. The other plants, and the sun, are pulling it closer to them. The moon moves a little less then a centimeter a year, but it is moving further away. Sooner than later, we might be moonless!
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.
The average centre-to-centre distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384,403 km, about thirty times the diameter of the Earth. 1km=1000m so 384,403,000m. Or it's 238,857milesYes, it does, and it is moving away slightly from each other. The moon moves away a few inches a year. Probably four inches.382260 Km240,000 miles238,000 miles on the average

Unfortunately, our moon, Luna, isn't staying forever. Each year, the moon moves further away from the Earth 3 cm. every year.
This is not a question, but an incomplete sentence.
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.

It's stuck in the Earth gravitaional pull.Another answer:Because the Earth has a gravitational pull on the moon. Actually, the Earth and moon revolve around each other common center of gravity. Without the Earth in it's way the moon would just head off in a straight line. Instead, as the moon tries to move away, the Earth does two remarkable things. One, it pulls the moon towards Earth, and two, the Earth moves out of the moon's way.
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.
The moon is moving away from the Earth at a rate of about 3.8 centimetres - or 1.5 inches - per year.
Earth moves because the of sun's gravitation pull. Same applies to the Moon.
When the Sun, Earth and Moon are lined up in such a way that the full moon moves into the Earth's shadow, it creates a lunar eclipse.
