It is 362,570 km (0.0024 AU) away from the Earth

It is 362,570 km (0.0024 AU) away from the Earth
Apogee means Far from the earth..... It's not Pengee its Perigee... Perigee means near from the earth...
I want to know the exact date the moon is furthest away from the earth.
At Apogee it is furthest from the Earth. At Perigee it is nearest to the Earth. The mean distance of the moon from the Earth is 242,000 miles. However, the Moon moves in an ellipsoid path., with the Earth at one of the foci of the ellipse. Also its orbit is not co-planar with the Earth's orbit about the Sun, but slightly angled. As a consequence the Moon appears to move faster/slower during the lunar month, and, phases discounted, appears to be larger/smaller. Because of non-co-planarity we do not see a lunar/solar eclipse every months.
About 60 Earth radii.

It is 362,570 km (0.0024 AU) away from the Earth
its closer at perigee than at apogee.
At Perigee (Closest) Venus is about 38.1 million kilometers away (0.255 AU).
That varies depending on where Mercury, the Earth, and the Moon are in their respective orbits.

How FAR is the moon from the Earth? About a quarter of a million miles away. ~250,000 miles.
About 60 Earth radii.
about 240,000 miles.
