You must have read in your childhood that the moon revolves around the earth. This is also true, but there is a technical snag in it. That is, this rotation does not take the Earth as the center point. When a change revolves around the Earth, its distance also changes. The nearest and farthest distance between the Earth and the Moon varies in each month. The average distance between the Moon and the Earth is 382,900 km. Scientists believe that gravity is the reason for changing the distance of the moon. Changes in tides and ebb are visible as it moves nearer and farther away.
