This is a little complicated, but actually quite logical:
1. The Moon produces tides. Energy can be obtained from tides. The energy from tides can also be wasted, as friction. Ultimately, the energy for the tides comes from the Earth's rotation. Therefore, as a result of conservation of energy, the Earth will gradually rotate slower.
2. There is also a law of conservation of rotational momentum. If the Earth rotates slower, the Moon moves farther away - thus, rotational momentum is conserved.

What else can I help you with?
What makes a planet bend toward the light?
A planet or moon bends toward the light due to the gravitational force of the sun or star, causing its orbit to curve. This bending of the path of the planet toward the light is what keeps it in orbit around the star.
What direction does the sun moon and stars move across the sky?
Since Earth's surface is rotating toward the east, "fixed" celestial bodies appear to be moving toward the west.
What is moving star?
You mean "what is moving the stars?" Well, I answer you with this: nothing. The stars are not moving. No stars move. The closest you will ever get to see a star moving is when Justin Beiber moves from LA to Miami.
What is the main but closest star to the moon called?
The closest star to the moon is the Sun, of course. But if you mean looking up into the night sky, there would be different stars appearing next to the moon all the time, because the earth is moving and the moon is moving and the stars are unbelievably far away.
How many stars are there in our solar system?
Our sun is actually a small star, tons of stars are way bigger than our sun. One. Each star is a sun.
Does the sun is moving toward west?
Is the sun does move east towards the moves does west.
How do we known the sun rotates?
If sunspots are moving toward east, then sun rotates east
If the earth rotates from the west to the east why do the sun and Star move from the east towards the west?
They are not actually, moving, they just appear to be moving because we are. Consider that if you are on a train moving forward, objects that you pass by appear to move toward the read of the train.

Which zone contains hot gas moving up toward the surface and cooler gas moving down toward the center of the sun?
The convection zone of the sun contains hot gas moving up toward the surface and cooler gas moving down toward the center. This zone is located above the radiative zone and is responsible for transporting heat from the sun's core to its surface through the motion of plasma currents.
What body forms a tail as it approaches the sun?
Comets are celestial objects that have tails and move around the sun. When a comet is moving toward the sun, its tail points toward the sun.
Is your sun moving toward the constellation Hercules and taking thee planets with it?
yes,it does
How can scientists tell that the sun moves?
The sun is moving at an amazing speed. It is the biggest brightest star in the galaxy.
Could you find facts about the sun from Bill Nye the science guy show about the sun?
the sun is a star it is the only star in our solar system
What is the title of the Novan episode about your sun?
Star of the Show
Why does the solar system have a star in the middle of it?
because the sun's gravity pulls bodies of rock toward it
What moon phase occurs when the Sun Earth and Moon form a right triangle and the Moon is moving toward the Sun?
Third quarter moon
