The moon is not a light, the moon reflects the light from the sun in the night. Sun is the only source of light in our solar system

The battery is not the light @night but the bulbs are. How the battery is the most important, nobody cares.

I knew daft people will come to ruin this thread, I suggest a simple IQ test should be conducted for people to comment on science related threads.

Seun, create a simple IQ test, and anyone that does not pass minimum requirement should be disallowed from commenting on science related threads.

Majority are daft in this part of the world, fools are irritating

You all that claims high IQ are the lowest of low in the intelligency spectrum.
You're all doing this to put up bs facade of intelligency,when you're not sh*t!

Because I understand basic science, I did and understood basic physics and geography in school. Hence I was able to fathom that the moon is responsible for the ocean tides and the force generated from this interaction creates a kinetic energy for the moon in the opposite direction.

It didn’t just stop there, there are thousands of experiments to demonstrate this and show the evidence.

Please,can you bring forward one of those verifiable experiments ?

I was waiting to read your insightful scientific contribution after condemning "daft people," I was disappointed after all.

Anyways, I have nothing to contribute too.

Allow the moon to do it's thing.

You have to understand that there might be far reaching ramifications with such movement.

Laser ranging measurements of the change in the distance from the Earth to the Moon tell us that the Moon is moving away from the Earth at a rate of about 3.78 cm per year.
So go get all the apparatus need to perform this. You are welcome

If the moon is speeding up, then that means that the rotation of the earth is slowing down. Soon one side of the earth will be eternally pointed towards the sun(and therefore be turned into an oven) and the other side away from(and therefore a deep freezer). The only habitable parts of the earth would then be a small twilight zone.

Wrong! As long as the earth rotates there'll be both day and night, only that there'll be no moon to light up the sky in the night.

I won't be alive to see it visible tho so it doesn't concern me...
My guess is before it finally disappears and we stop seeing the moon will take another over 10million years lol... Why should I be concerned right now. Even my bones will be laughing out loud at what's happening then...

Allow us live in peace and not create unnecessary panic abeg lol

rottennaija:

That you don't like what you heard doesn't mean it's nonsense. It's a fact that the universe is still expanding. And as it is expanding, planets, objects are moving away from each other. It's also a fact that our star, the sun is burning away. Eventually, it will burn out its energy source which is helium and die out, but that's is many millions of years away.

A small correction, hydrogen is what is being burned up at the moment. After it uses up all(most) of the hydrogen, which at that point would have been converted to helium, then it starts burning up helium as it's main energy source.

A time will come that finally this will happen:

Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the SUN be darkened, and the MOON shall not give her light, and the STARS shall fall from HEAVEN, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a NEW HEAVEN and a NEW EARTH: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was NO MORE SEA

Prophets of doom must always have something to say to justify any thing. What can you say about the stars falling from the sky? Can a star fall from the sky? Hope you know that the sun is a star? Can the sun fall from the sky?
