Moons orbit is not an exact circle. Its almost circular. So when the moon is closest towards earth, should earth's gravitational force on moon be stronger resulting in a spiral down fall and eventaly moon crashing on the earth?
Why doesn't the moon fall on earth?

i hope they dont crash, the forces of nature is strong lol
#2 The Moon is pulled down to
Earth by the Earth's gravity,
but it has enough speed that it
remains in its orbit.
