The interactions between the Earth and the Moon demonstrate how far away our natural satellite actually is. This phenomenon, as well as the current position of the Sun, explains the diminishing of, then the eventual projected end of total solar eclipses. The Moon is moving away from the Earth at a rate of 3.8 centimeters, or about 1.5 inches, each year. In 600 million years, the moon will be 23,500 kilometers (or over 14,000 miles) further away than it is today... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
