How far is it to the moon'?

Answer 1

See: http://ares.jsc.NASA.gov/Education/Activities/ExpMoon/DistanceMoon.pdf The Earth is about 4X the diameter of the Moon, and the Sun is about 100X the diameter of the Earth. You can figure this closer if you look up the actual numbers. The diameter of the Sun changes slightly over time. But the amazing thing is that the Moon is 30X Earth diameters from the Earth. This is easy to see by using a regulation Basketball (Earth) and a tennis ball (Moon) as models. The Moon is 7.2 meters from the Earth in this scale model.

Answer 2

The sun is about 150 million kilometres away from earth.
The moon is about 300,000 kilometres away from the earth and revolves around the Earth so that it is sometimes closer to the sun and sometimes further away than the Earth is.

Answer 3

The Sun and the Earth are 149.6 million kilometers apart.

The Earth and the Moon are 384,400 kilometers apart.

Answer 4

The Moon is quite close to the Earth; only about 250,000 miles. The Sun is 93,000,000 miles from Earth, so the distance from the Sun to the Moon is about the same.

Answer 5

The average centre-to-centre distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384,403 km

Answer 6

2500 Miles and if you were to drive to the moon it would ytake you 250 years!(which you wouldn't have really BEEN ABLE TO MAKE!)

Answer 7

The sun's diameter is 1,392,000 km (865,000 mi.) and the moon's diameter is 3,475 km (2,159 mi.).

Answer 8

The average distance is about 384,403 kilometres or 238,868 miles.

Answer 9
