Moon escaping Earth s orbit

The Moon is Slowly Leaving Earth... 🌙🚀
The Moon looks perfectly steady in our night sky, but it’s actually making a slow-motion escape!

Every single year, the Moon drifts about 3.8 centimeters further away from Earth. To put that into perspective, that’s roughly the same speed at which your fingernails grow! At this rate, it would take about 50 billion years for the Moon to completely break free from Earth's orbit.

But don't panic just yet—the Sun will actually expand and swallow both the Earth and the Moon long before that ever happens!

What You'll Learn:
The exact rate at which the Moon is drifting away from us.

A surprising comparison to how fast human fingernails grow.
