It seems that the Moon recedes from Earth at a rate of 38 mm a year.

That makes it 38,000 mm in 1000 years.

That's 38 meters.

In ancient times the Moon was farther from Earth and solar eclipses would appear more often?

The Moon has not receded from the Earth by any visible amount since the dawn of human history. However, millions of years ago, the Moon was closer to Earth, not farther away. Eclipses would have still appeared about twice a year, but some of the partial or annular eclipses might have been total, way back when.


Do astronomers know what the moon phase will be in a 1000 years?

Yes. One thousand years is like the blink of an eye to the Earth and the Moon; a thousand years from now, we know exactly what the phases of the Moon will be. The NASA Eclipse Web Page even has eclipse calculations for the year 3000 AD.


How many light years is it to the moon?

The moon is about 0.0000000406 light years away from earth.


What is the orbital period of the moon in earth years?

the orbital period of Saturn in earth years are 89years


What is the age of the moon and earth?

The Earth is 4.567 billion years old. The moon is thought to be a little younger at 4 billion years, since it is believed to be a spin off of the Earth's formation.


How far the moon from Earth in light years?

The distance to the moon is about 1.3 light seconds or about 0.000000032 light years.


Were the moon came from?

as other people say moon come from the earth so it means that when the earth was formed millions years ago something hit earth and a part of earth riped apart and that was the moon


Will the earth and the moon join?

Not hardly. The moon is moving away from the Earth at a rate of a few inches per year. In about 25000 years, the moon may have the potential to escape the gravity of the Earth.


Is the moon's years the same as ours?

Yes. The moon goes around the sun with Earth.


Did the earth capture our moon?

We do not know for sure. However current thinking is that the mood is the result of a body about the size of Mars impacting the proto Earth. This resulted in the cores of the two bodies amalgamating and a "splash" of lighter material being flung off. This "splash" settles into orbit round the Earth and coalesced to form the Moon. At its formation the Moon was much closer to the earth than it is now and spun quite fast. Over time the moon has receded from the Earth (at the expense of the Earth's spin speed) and has itself been tidally captured by the Earth such that it now has a synchronous orbital and rotational period.


How many lightyears is the moon from the earth?

The moon is about 0.0000000406 light years away from earth. Clearly, the moon is MUCH too close (238,000 or 239,000 miles or so) for the distance to be rendered meaningfully in light years.


What is 1000 years old but never older than a month?

The moon/the Lunar Cycle.
