Is it possible for the moon to collide with the Earth?

Long answer: The Moon is in a stable orbit around Earth. There is no chance that it could just change its orbit and crash into Earth without something else really massive coming along and changing the situation. The Moon is actually moving away from Earth at the rate of a few centimetres per year.

Is it possible for the moon to escape Earth’s gravity?

The simple answer is: The Moon is probably never going to leave us. There is no well-defined scientific scenario in which the Moon ever escapes from the Earth, and even the long-shot possibility emerges only long after Earth has been largely destroyed by the Sun.

What would happen to the moon If Earth lost its gravitational pull?

Without the force of gravity from the Earth, it would just float away into space. This mix of velocity and distance from the Earth allows the Moon to always be in balance between fall and escape. If it was faster, it would escape; any slower and it would fall!

What happens if the Moon crashed into Earth?

With the Moon coming closer, Earth’s rotation would speed up. Our days would become shorter and shorter. Global temperatures would go down, nobody would worry about climate change anymore. Unless asteroids burned the Earth to a crisp.

How long did it take for the Moon to crash into Earth?

about 50 billion years
As is true of many rocky relationships, the Earth and Moon only need a bit of time and space to work things out. Ultimately, we just need to be patient. In about 50 billion years, the Moon will stop moving away from us and settle into a nice, stable orbit.

What will happen when the moon drifts away?

As explained here, the Moon is slowly moving away from Earth. So in short, yes, over very long time periods the Moon will slow Earth’s rotation to the point where there are no tides caused by the Moon, but at that point the Earth-Moon system will no longer exist.
