As the moon gets closer, it will have to orbit more rapidly, making the lunar months shorter, and the lunar tides much stonger. At a certain point (officially known as the Roche limit) the moon would be destroyed by the effect of the Earth's tidal force on the moon, and would become a cloud of debris which would gradually turn into a ring around the Earth, much like the rings around Saturn.
What else can I help you with?
Why does the moon get closer to the earth every 11 years?
The moon is not getting closer but further
Why is the moon said to be accelerating?
I believe the reason is because the moon gets a tiny bit closer to the earth ever year.
Is the sun closer to earth or moon?
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.
When the moon is full earth or the moon is closer to the sun?
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.
What has the greater affect on tides the moon or the sun?
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.
What will happen to the tides when the moon gets closer to the earth?
They will rise.

Why is the moon getting bigger?
As it orbits earth it occasionally gets closer than other times or it's the moon phases

Is the moon closer to the star or the earth?
The moon is much closer to the Earth than it is to the Sun.
Is mercury closer to the size of the Earth or your moon?
It is closer to the Earth
Is mercury or the moon closer to earth's size?
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.
