Overlooking the low probability of the moon 'exploding' by itself (no historical precedent for anything the size of the moon doing that), only the pieces of debris ejected with a velocity opposite to the moon's velocity around the earth would be in a position to fall to earth, so only a very small volume of the moon's mass would ever make the trip to earth.
Also, if the fragments were sufficiently small, they would be attenuated or burned up by the earth's atmosphere before arriving.

I agree with hanon hosho. But, there is more detail to put into it. as the moon moves away, our rotation slows and our axis begins to disappear. When the axis is gone and we stop rotating due to the absence of the moon, one side of earth will be very hot, the other side will be very freezing. Not to mention, this will make the world inhabitable. The uncontrolled stillness of earth due to the moon's absence will be the doom of us all, if the sun doesn't expand into a red giant first. The moon will never crash into earth and cause catastrophic damage.

No! The moon and the moon have a gravitational pull that keeps them in place . However the moon gets farther away from the earth every year.

There are 2 basic basic procedures to think of with reference to the dimensions of the earth with know to the sunlight. First, the sunlight's diameter is approximately a hundred cases that of the Earth. So, you will could line up a hundred Earth's end-to-end to stretch around the face of the sunlight. the 2d thank you to think of approximately it is your question: what proportion Earth's could in good condition interior the sunlight. think of the you had an excellent, around, fish-bowl and a team of marbles. Now think of that the diameter of the fish bowl replaced into 100x the diameter of the each and every marble. That way, a hundred marbles could stretch end to end around the fish bowl. Now, what proportion marbles will slot interior the fish bowl? it fairly is like asking your question with reference to the Earth and the sunlight. because it seems, we are able to stretch the marbles around the fish bowl in 3 instructions, up/down, in/out and left/suitable, and everywhere in between. So,to fill the bowl we could choose for 100x100x100 = a million,000,000 marbles. Or, some million,000,000 Earths could in good condition interior the sunlight.

Nope! In fact, the moon is receding and gets a little further from the earth every year. Don't start waving goodbye just yet though!

If say, a near moon size astroid hit it, it could fly apart and parts of it could hit earth. I can't think of anything else that would make it "explode".

It is a dormant body, so it would need some outside influence to cause that to happen. The odds of such an event are astronomical.
