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.
About 1 second away every 50,000 years
The Moon doesn't move away from Earth significantly due to the gravitational pull that Earth exerts on it. While the Moon is slowly drifting away at a rate of about 3.8 centimeters per year, this is balanced by its orbital motion. The gravitational force keeps the Moon in a stable orbit, preventing it from drifting too far away. Additionally, the tidal interactions between the Earth and Moon create a complex dynamic that helps maintain this balance.
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.
Well yes and no. The moon is in an eliptical (not round, more oblong) orbit around the earth. So every 18 to 20 years it is at it's closest point to earth and then begins to move farther away as it travel through it's orbit. We just saw the closest point to earth and now it will mov e away alittle more each day until it begins to start moving closer again.
In that case, the Moon would move in a straight line instead of moving around the Earth; it would quickly get away.
The moon is moving away from the Earth at a rate of about 3.8 centimetres - or 1.5 inches - per year.
the moon flys away from the earth
Yes
because of the earth gravitational and magnetic pull
About 1 second away every 50,000 years
As a result of the conservation of angular momentum, the slowing of Earth's rotation is accompanied by an increase of the mean Earth-Moon distance of about 3.8 m per century, or 3.8 cm per year.

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.
There's no limit to the distance at which Earth's gravity is effective, and no limit to the distance that two bodies can separate and still move in mutual gravitational orbits.
It orbits around Earth because of the mutual gravitational forces between the Earth and the Moon, which attract them to each other.
The moon is drifting away from earth at a rate of about 38 millimeters per year. So in 1 million years, the moon will have drifted another 38 kilometers or abour 24 miles further from Earth.
Something about gravitational pull. If you look on Wikipedia or some other information site, I'm sure you can find out why.
