- Have you ever looked up at the moon and wondered if it would ever move away from Earth? Well, you're not alone. And the answer might surprise you: the Moon is moving away from us. Scientists have been studying this phenomenon for decades, and the reasons are fascinating. Let’s dive into the question on everyone's mind!
---
Before we get into the science behind it, let's take a quick look at the history of our moon. One of the prevailing theories is that the Moon formed around 4.5 billion years ago, shortly after the formation of the solar system. The current leading theory suggests that the Moon formed from debris left over after a Mars-sized object collided with Earth, sending debris into space that eventually coalesced to form the Moon. This collision would have had a profound impact on Earth, likely causing massive disruptions to the planet's climate and geology.
Reasons Why Moon Moves Away from Earth
So, why is this happening?
The answer lies in two main factors: the Moon and Earth rotation and the gravitational interaction between the Moon and the Earth.
If Moon escapes Earth
It is important to note that this scenario is highly unlikely to occur anytime soon. The Moon is currently moving away from the Earth at a rate of about 3.8 centimeters per year, but it would take billions of years for it to move far enough away to escape the Earth's gravity altogether. Nevertheless, let's consider the hypothetical consequences of the Moon's disappearance.

Sorry, but you've hashed it up. It's the tidal bulge (not equatorial bulge) that's relevant, and it's Earth's rotation on its axis being faster than the Moon's rotation about Earth that causes the bulge to be ahead of the Moon in its orbit, pulling the moon forward, not slowing it down) causing its orbit to expand.
This pulling the Moon forward is also pulling back on the Earth's rotation, slowing down that rate of rotation.
He said the same thing so many times that I kept thinking I'd bumped the screen and caused it to rewind.
Most people don't understand the gravity of the situation. 🌜
Idk about you but it has been weighing down on me
Just pull yourself together
Divorcees get it...
Bahaha
Scientific videos with subtitles are god sent for people that have English as their second language(like me!) Thank you sir. Great video.
i suppose moving further away is better thank moving closer to Earth.
The Moon is moving away from Earth because Earth rotates more quickly on its axis than the Moon rotates about it.
This results in the tidal bulge on the Earth's surface being dragged ahead of where it would otherwise be, that is, it's ahead of the moon in its rotation about the Earth. This bulge minutely pulls the Moon forward in its orbit, giving it a slight acceleration, if an object is accelerated in the direction that it orbits, it will move outwards.
For similar reasons the Martian moon Phobos is moving closer to Mars.
Phobos moves about Mars faster than Mars rotates on its axis, so the tidal bulge on Mars moves across the martian surface slightly behind Phobos in its orbit, pulling back on Phobos, slowing it down. Slow an object in orbit down and its orbit will move in, towards its primary.
Momentum?
@rockyes3239 no, momentum is what resists the forces I described changing the moons orbit.
Great video and information !
Possibly wrong information in the video. Just because it is on youtube does not mean it is correct.
Obviously, the moon has seen enough of stupid humans, and is moving to a better neighborhood.
CZcams's adblock policy is driving the moon away.
I think you're right. I'm getting ads on live streams now. It's insane.
That was a good video on the moon.
It's because Luna doesn't like us anymore.
I would move away to looking at how bad earth is getting
😮😂😂🙈
Holy Space 1999. Earth without a moon is too horrible to even consider!
Why is the Moon moving away? Chuck Norris is mad at it. When Chuck is mad at you, you don't ask why? You leave!
The moon's hollow and it's a spaceship it's getting ready to leave. Thousands of years ago the Romans said there was no moon. It just showed up.
Tidal forces between the Earth and the Moon...the Moon's pull slows down the Earth's rotation as the Earth's pushes the Moon outward in it's orbit.
Nearly right, but gravity doesn't "push", the tidal forces (from the tidal bulge) pull the Moon forward in its orbit, accelerating it, if an object in orbit is accelerated, its orbit moves out.
This explanation suggests the same should happen to the earth, too in regards ti the sun, cause her orbit Is eliptical as well. Am I wrong?
Makes sense, but it seems likely that the influence of the other planets (AND the moon) would be much greater.
The Earth is moving away from the Sun, but mainly due to the Sun losing mass.
Typically, when the things said in videos are extremely repetitive, the script was fully "written" by AI.
How would the poles shift on earth effect the moon pulling away?
So if the moon is slowing in its orbit it doesn’t make any sense that it’s moving away. It should be moving closer??? How am I getting this wrong?
If you have an editor, fire him/her. If you don’t have an editor, please get one.
3.8 centimeters per year!? OMG, that maans that in a century, it will move 3.8 meters farther from Earth!!
I guess I can live with that... except that of course I won't...
I know that the Astronauts place a mirror on the moon. But could their findings be flawed? 3.8 CM is so hard to read at that distance. And with the Moon moving closer. Than fared every month. It's hard to believe what NASA is saying about this. And doesnt weather conditions make reading hard?
The moon was formed by some debris and this debris bonded and formed the moon, really ? and all this happened in space? this sound ridiculous at best.
The Moon is moving away, due to its Decaying Orbit. Apparently its Autopilot is loosing power.
Have you seen the Earth lately? It's no wonder the Moon is saying "peace out"
I think moon is heard about mars mission and setting up colony there so he decided to become mars moon..😅😅😅
Poor graphic at 2m 30s. Moon going in wrong direction! The Moon revolves *_with_* Earth's rotation; not against it.
😎♥✝🇺🇸💯
Say goodbye to solar eclipses 😢
It’s sign of punishment for earth 🌎 asteroids ☄️ hitting ( moon 🌙 moves a couple inches away )
Why? Nova.
A collision that impregnated your planet with life, and made in habitable, gotta ask, who caused that collision?
Random chance
Because it can see what's going on down here and wants no part of it. :-)
the moon wants a divorce. :)
A lot could happen to change this in the future. What a huge asteroid knock the moon closer to the earth? Or maybe centurys from now man might be able to move the moon.
Because it's actually a hollow spaceship of aliens hostile to humanity and I hope to Heaven they're finally leaving. In ancient times there was no moon.
Evidence for Joshua’s Long Day ?
"that's no moon" 😨😨
Well, we have been acting like real jerks lately... I wouldn't blame the moon if it want to leave and go orbit Mars of Venus instead 😞
Just ask Kieth Richards or Willie Nelson. Both of them can tell that they remember when you could pick up a rock and throw it, and hit it!! Not all those craters are meteor strikes but rather a bit of vandalism when they were kids....😳
Because they had an Argument.
We could use a retractor beam just like Star Trek and pull it back if it gets too far away.
Notice how the narrator repeats the same thing multiple times??
Sun has 5 billion years more before exhausting. So moon will move 164000 km away from it current position till death of sun. Thats not significant in astrological distances.
I don't buy this explanation of why the moon is moving further away from the earth for the simple reason because it is an ellipse, and the moon is closer at some point wouldn't that mean the moon should me moving closer to the earth? See how I just did the flip side of the explanation and came out with polar opposite conclusion?
I believe the moon is moving further away from the earth because the entire universe is expanding. Meaning every heavenly body is moving away from all other heavenly bodies, the redshift of stars supports that.
😃😀 wow the Moon is moving away from the Earth I guess that's why I just seen a harvest moon that was orange and bigger than ever 👏 make logical sense
If It Moves away from Earth too far we are in big trouble
LOL have you watched the news lately? 😮
Bless your heart 💞 the earth is the iron core of a step down transformer (pan to the induction range) earths EMF extends beyond the moon the generated current holds the moons orbit 🤗
Now all you climate experts will have come to another hypothesis, that the moon moving away is a direct cause fot the extreme weather events on Earth.. 😂👍
I dont thing disappearance of moon has any significant effect on earth or life on earth.😊 Analysis u made looks like more of children story.
GRAVITY, GRAVITY, AND GRAVITY. Do you want to think? just think about this: How the Moon stay around earth when it is 30+ earth planets away? That is IMPOSSIBLE.
--- Just check how long are all the moons we can know from their own planet. They are relatively close.
There are things called Kepler's laws, all moon's and planets orbit according to those laws.
Even the moon is tired of stupid people on earth
The move away from earth it earth have to many evil people 😊
The moon has steadily been moving away from the earth since its formation billions of years ago, and somehow that's news?🙄
Not everyone was born with the knowledge of physics
It’s news because 99% of the population doesn’t know it …
@@mk33mathisYou know what 99% of the population is and is not aware of?
you’re telling me it used to be right up to the Earths face?
Earth Orbit is more than a quarter million miles wide as conformed by the distance of it's Moon, which is said to be
moving away, but it's more of an adjustment to it's Orbit, because of Energy expansion between Earth and the Moon, that caused it to always secure a safe smart Orbit at the weakest areas of Earth Energy Flow, away from the stronger Energy that may interfere with it's Orbit, it's the very reason why the Moon don't fall to Earth Surface.
Earth Tides can be explained in three words, FLOAT and SINK.
Stick your finger in a glass of water to see the level rise, pulling out to see it fall, the same happens whenever Earth to Moon Energy Connection passes through it's soft Oceans Surface pulling the Solid Land under for a high Tide, and the low Tide comes when the dry Land is pulled away from the Oceans.
Gravity is a myth, and has been Debunked.
The air we breathe, Burning Solid Objects, Resurrection from the dead, and more, they all Debunk's Gravity.
Moon is just a rock😂 does nothing we think it does but as we already proven we know absolutely nothing about space planets and all that.good stories to fall asleep lol
A nuclear waste stock pile🤔
I don't understand anything about Science so the reason is God!
No the reason is the reason god is the gap of understanding.
Thats still the dumbest theory of the formation of the moon ive ever heard lol
WHAT is This PROPAGANDA?? GOD Made HEAVEN and EARTH PRAISE OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS ❤️ CHRIST 🙏
