  1. The sun is about 93 million miles away from earth. While, the Moon, According to University of Michigan astronomer Richard Teske, it is 15 billion inches from Earth.


  2. If I remember right the Sun is about 93,000,000 miles from earth and the moon is about 278,00 miles.

  3. Sun, from 91.5 to 94.5 million miles.  (1 au)

    Moon, average of 238,000 miles.

  4. The Sun is 93 million miles away from the Earth, light takes approximately eight minutes to reach the Earth from the Sun. The Moon however is only 240,000 miles away from the Earth, light from the Moon takes just over a second to reach the Earth.

  5. The sun is an average of 93 million miles from Earth....and the moon..is an average of 280 thousand miles from Earth.

    The orbit of Earth ...is not circular around the sun....so...it doesn't maintain the exact same distance through the entire cycle of it's orbit.

    By the same token....the Moon...doesn't orbit in a perfect circle around Earth either...so...it's distance is not the same throughout.

  6. Well the sun is about 93000000 miles away

    Though unlike the sun the moon orbits around in a sorta oval shape. At perigee which is the closest to the earth it is 221,463 miles. At apogee which is farthest away it is 251,968miles. The average is probably 238,857 miles

  7. Instead of giving you the distances in ordinary measures, allow me to give you a practical scale model comparison:

    If you denote the earth as a point, the distance of the earth to the moon is the width of a finger and the distance of the earth to the sun is the length of a limousine.

  8. Sun, from 91.5 to 94.5 million miles.  Moon, average of 238,000 miles.
