La Luna se aleja de la Tierra

The video explains the formation of the Moon and its gradual distancing from Earth, which affects Earth's rotation due to angular momentum conservation. It predicts a future where the Moon is much farther, causing changes in how we perceive its phases and making total solar eclipses impossible. The video also humorously notes that by then, the Sun will have expired.

How much does the distance between the Earth and the Moon increase each year?

• 2.5 cm

• 5.0 cm

• 4.2 cm

• 3.8 cm

What is the effect of the Moon moving away from Earth on the planet's rotation?

• It causes Earth to rotate in the opposite direction

• It speeds up Earth's rotation

• It has no effect on Earth's rotation

• It slows down Earth's rotation

What analogy is used to explain the concept of angular momentum in the video?

• A spinning top

• A skater on ice

• A rotating wheel

• A swinging pendulum

In the future, how will the Moon appear in the sky compared to today?

• It will appear larger

• It will not be visible

• It will appear 2 to 3 times smaller

• It will appear the same size

Why will total solar eclipses become impossible in the future?

• The Moon will no longer orbit Earth

• The Earth's atmosphere will change

• The Moon will be too far away

• The Sun will be too bright
