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.

It orbits Earth at roughly a quarter of a million miles out; but this does vary slightly.
