How far is earth from the moon?

Question

I would like to know...How far is earth from the moon?

Answer 1

far

Answer 2

A good "rule of thumb" value to remember is a quarter million miles.

More precisely, the Moon's orbit is elliptical: its average orbital radius is 384,401 km (238,855 mi.), apogee (farthest distance from the Earth) is 406,700 km (252,712 mi.), and perigee (distance of closest approach to the Earth) is 356,400 km (221,457 mi.).

Answer 3

The average is 384,399 km, and the distance varies between 363,104 and 405,696 km.

Answer 4

As the moon is on a elliptic orbit, it is never at a constant distance to Earth. It's closest distance from the center of the moon  to the center of Earth (called perigee radius) is 363,104 km , it's furthest distance (called apogee radius) is 405,696 km.

Answer 5

I think of it as about a quarter million miles away.  Wikipedia says 384,399 km.  The distance isn't constant.  There is plenty to know about it.

Perhaps you need to know how far the Moon is from the Earth RIGHT NOW. An astronautical almanac can give you the formulas. Some planetarium software can compute the answer for you at your whim.

Answer 6

239,000 miles.

Answer 7

3 days away simple ? at speeds in the 1000 mph  things look slow in space but  actrully very very very fast

Answer 8

Around 250,000 miles away

Answer 9

around 360,000 km

Answer 10

How far is the moon from the Earth?

Since the moon's orbit is elliptical (oval-shaped), its distance varies from about 221,463 miles (356,334 kilometers) at perigee (closest approach to Earth) to 251,968 miles (405,503 kilometers) at apogee (farthest point). The average distance from the moon to the Earth is 238,857 miles (384,392 kilometers).
