🌙 FUN FACT FRIDAY! 🌙 ✨ Did you know? The Moon is slowly moving away from Earth! Every year, the Moon drifts about 3.8 centimetres farther away from our planet—that's roughly the same speed your fingernails grow! 🌍🌕 This happens because the Moon's gravity creates ocean tides on Earth. Over millions of years, the interaction between Earth and the Moon has gradually pushed the Moon into a slightly larger orbit. Don't worry though—we won't notice it in our lifetime! At its current rate, it would take more than 26 million years for the Moon to move just 1,000 kilometres farther
