Since the moon is revolving around the earth, it must be closer than the earth is

to the sun for half the time and farther for the other half. So the moon's average

distance from the sun must be pretty much the same as the earth's average distance.

That's 149.6 million km.

What is the distance from earths moon to sun?

The Earth is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a minimum distance (perihelion) of 147,098,074 km, and a maximum distance (aphelion) of 152,097,701 km. The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Earth, with a minimum distance (perigee) of 363,104 km and a maximum distance (apogee) of 405,696 km.


Are the moon and the sun the same distance from earth?

No, the moon and the sun are not the same distance from Earth. The average distance from the Earth to the moon is about 238,855 miles, while the average distance from the Earth to the sun is about 93 million miles.


Moons distance from sun?

The average distance from earth to the moon is 384,400 km(238,900 miles).The average distance from earth to the sun is 150 million km (93,000,000 miles).The moon revolves around earth, so distance to the sun is around 93 million miles (+/- 238,900 miles).


What is the proximity from the moon to the sun?

The average distance from the Moon to the Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). However, this distance varies because both the Moon and Earth follow elliptical orbits around the Sun.


Will the orbit of the moon fit inside the sun?

Easily. The furthest distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 406,000 km. So the diameter of the orbit is around 812,000 km. The diameter of the Sun is 1,392,000 km. So the orbit of the Moon would fit inside the Sun with room to space.


How far is Pluto from the moon?

Pluto is about 5,913 million km from the sun (on average). Earth is about 150 million km from the sun. Pluto is about 5,763 million km from Earth, so Pluto is about the same distance from our moon.


How far away is the sun in miles?

It varies - the moon orbits the Earth so the distance will change depending on Earth's distance from the sun as well as the moon's distance from the Earth. The minimum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is closest to the sun and the moon is in new moon phase (meaning its closer to the sun than the Earth). The distance from the moon to the sun is: Earth's distance at perihelion - moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 146,692,370 km. The maximum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is farthest from the sun and the moon is in full moon phase. The distance from the moon to the sun is Earth's distance at aphelion + moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 150,503,400 km.


How far away is Venus from Earth's moon?

The distance varies as the Moon goes round the Earth while the Earth goes round the Sun AND Venus goes round the Sun. Thus sometimes Venus and Earth are on the same side of the Sun and at other times they are on opposite sides of the Sun. Obviously then the distance changes between the two extreme configurations. The best I can do is to tell you that Venus orbits the Sun at a distance of 108,208,000 km, the Earth orbits the Sun at a distance of 152,100,000 km, while the Moon orbits the Earth at a distance of 405,400 km.
