Give reason:The distance between the moon and the earth keeps on changing.
Answer»
The moon’s orbit of the revolution is elliptical to that of the earth.
Hence the distance of the moon from the earth is not the same everywhere along its orbit while revolving.
When it is the closest to the earth it is said to be in perigee and when it is at the farthest, the position is called apogee.
