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.
The earth is roughly 4.5 billion years old. We know this to be the case because we have dated rocks from the moon that old, and earth must be at least as old as our moon.
No, Earth's moon does not have a hydrosphere. There is no evidence of liquid water on the moon's surface.
The Earth's rotation will gradually slow down over millions of years due to tidal forces from the Moon, but it is not expected to completely cease for billions of years.
The term for the moon when the whole disc is visible from Earth is "full moon." During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned in a way that the illuminated side of the moon is facing the Earth.
Yes, the moon does have a weak magnetic field, but it is much smaller than Earth's. This magnetic field is believed to be a remnant from when the moon was formed billions of years ago.
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.
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.
The moon is about 0.0000000406 light years away from earth.
the orbital period of Saturn in earth years are 89years
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.
The distance to the moon is about 1.3 light seconds or about 0.000000032 light years.
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
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.
Yes. The moon goes around the sun with Earth.
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.
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.
