Well, the moon is actually moving farther away from Earth very slowly, about 1.5 inches per year. But don't worry, it's a natural part of the moon's orbit and won't affect us here on Earth. Just think of it like the moon is taking a little cosmic stroll to explore the universe! Lovely, isn't it?
The moon is not getting closer but further
The Sun is at the same average distance from both the Earth and the Moon because the Earth-Moon system orbits the sun. However, since the Moon orbits around the Earth, it is sometimes closer to the Sun than is the Earth, and sometimes farther. But the difference is negligible since the Sun is more than 380 times as far from Earth as the Moon.
During a full moon, the moon is opposite the sun with Earth in between, meaning the moon is closer to Earth and further from the sun. This alignment allows the moon to appear fully illuminated from our perspective on Earth.
The moon causes larger tides than the sun, even though the sun is much larger than the moon, because the moon is tremendously closer to the Earth than the sun is.
No, the phase of the moon is not determined by the Earth's distance to the sun. A full moon occurs when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun, which allows sunlight to fully illuminate the side of the moon facing Earth.
The moon is not getting closer but further
The moon is much closer to the Earth than it is to the Sun.
As it orbits earth it occasionally gets closer than other times or it's the moon phases
It is closer to the Earth
Mercury is larger than the moon and so is closer in size to Earth than the moon is. It should be noted that Mercury is closer in size to the moon than it is to Earth.
Bigger tides, more earthquakes and tsunamis etc.

Earth is the closest planet the moon, as it is our planet's moon and orbits Earth.
