Will the opposite rotation of earth affect the moon?

0

Currently, the rotation of the Earth is slowing (about 17 microseconds per year) and the moon is getting further away (about 38 millimeters per year) as the Earth’s angular momentum is transferred to the moon by tidal forces. You can see that it would take a while to produce a noticeable difference.
