Technically speaking, the moon is falling...
It's called Orbit:
the moon is falling towards earth, the only reason it doesn't hit it is because the earth is also moving (because the earth orbits the sun).
So in a way, the moon is falling and the earth is constantly moving out of it's way.
looks like google will fall |

| If it was falling away then we'd all be lifted off of the earth miraculously |

Space has gravity.
It is just way too minimal.
If there is an object in space, then the space around it has a gravitational pull. Gravitational force = moon orbits the earth
yes, space has gravity people

Orbit = Being pulled towards a body while traveling along side of it.
this is why you experience weightlessness, you are constantly falling while moving along side the body. The moon is in a stable orbit with Earth and that orbit wont deteriorate for a while. When the moons orbit deteriorates it will either fall too earth or be flung out into space (im not sure but I would go with flung out into space). |
