Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The moon is a satellite of the earth. It is always attracted to the earth by the action of gravity.
The gravitational force between the earth and the moon act as a centripetal force which makes the moon revolve around the earth. The circular motion of the moon around the earth does not let it falls on the earth. Because of the moon's tangential velocity, the gravitational force acting on it only changes the direction of motion at any moment.
The correct statement would be that the moon can never fall on earth.
