Question:
From the earth, the moon always looks approximately the same size. What can you conclude from this about the orbit of the moon around thge earth?

Answer:
moon is situated in earth's orbit, it is satelite of earth.so its looks approximately the same size
That its size is fairly constant.
Have you googled today? Or how about visiting your local library?

Good luck for the future.

It orbits Earth at roughly a quarter of a million miles out; but this does vary slightly.
moon is satallite of earht and rotates around earth
The only thing that can be concluded from your statement is that the moon is at an approximately fixed distance from the Earth (as we can safely say that the moons size is constant).

And since the gravity have yet not pull it to earth by now it must be rotating around the Earth to compensate for the gravitational pull.
moons size is constant
