How soon will the moon leave the earth?

After hundreds of millions of years, the moon may be completely separated from the earth.

According to Baidu Education, the moon is currently leaving the earth at a speed of about 38 mm per year. At this rate, the moon may be completely separated from the earth in hundreds of millions of years. However, the future lunar movement is complex and uncertain, which is influenced by many factors such as tidal force of the earth and the moon, solar radiation pressure and so on. Therefore, it is impossible to accurately predict when the moon will leave the earth.

The Moon (English name: Moon, Latin name: Luna) is a spherical celestial body revolving around the earth and a natural satellite of the earth. The moon is the fifth largest satellite in the solar system, with an average radius of about 1737. 10 km, equivalent to 0.273 times that of radius of the earth. The mass is close to 7.342× 1022 kg, which is 0.0 123 times that of the earth. The surface of the moon is covered with craters, which may be formed by the impact of small celestial bodies. The average distance between the moon and the earth is about 384,400 kilometers, which is about 30 times the diameter of the earth. The moon has a fluid outer core and a solid inner core similar to the earth.
