Originally Answered: Why is the Moon drifting away by 1 cm each year? Because of tidal forces between moon and Earth. As Earth and moon pull each other, bulges are created on the surface.

Astronomers can measure this very precisely now that they have atomic clocks to provide a non-celestial time standard for comparison.
