So the moon " falls " toward Earth due to gravity, but doesn't get any closer to Earth because its motion is an orbit, and the dynamics of the orbit are determined by the strength of gravity at that distance and by Newton's laws of motion. Moon is continuously falling towards earth but missing all the time!
