Earth's gravity forces the moon into an orbit
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.
0% All of the moon receives light only some of the time.
The moon appears to move in the sky as you move because of its position relative to the Earth. As you change your viewpoint by moving, the angle at which you see the moon changes, causing it to appear to shift its position in the sky. In reality, the moon is staying in its orbit around the Earth.
The moon is continuously drifting away from Earth at a rate of about 1.5 inches (3.78 cm) per year due to a phenomenon known as tidal acceleration. This is caused by the gravitational interactions between the Earth and the moon, which result in a transfer of energy that leads to the moon moving slightly farther away over time.
The apparent movement of the moon while you're in a car is due to your shifting perspective as you move. As you travel, the moon appears to shift relative to the landscape around you, giving the illusion of movement. This effect is similar to how objects closer to you seem to move faster than distant objects when you are in motion.
Because the Earth is rotating, the "closest point" to the Moon will be changing all the time. Also, the Moon is moving in its orbit, of course.
new moon come moving November 20th2009
yes the moon is also moving around our earth. it takes nearly 27 days to complete one rotation and the same time is taken by moon to complete one revolution
The moon isn't really moving, the car is just moving around the moon.

The moon itself doesn't change shape. What you see is the moon's daylight and night time periods moving across its face.
the moon is moving 3 centimeters a year....so, in a LONG time there will be no moon. And we cant live without it...but most of you who are reading this will be long gone!
No. It constantly changes, because it is always moving.

because it is smaller and when you look up at it it seems to be moving faster than all of the other planets!!
