How many from the earth to the moon?

The question makes no sense whatsoever. But if you're referring to distance: The distance between the Earth and the moon varies between 363,104 km at its perigee (closest to Earth) and 405,696 km at its apogee (farthest from Earth). Although, every year the moon floats about 4cm further away from Earth.


What if the distance between the earth and the sun increased?

Earth would freeze and life would change dramatically. Humanity would likely prove itself to be incapable of handling the change. As it is already, our planet undergoes periodic ice ages every few millenia, the next one of which we're already overdue.

What is name of the force between the earth and the sun?

The force between the Earth and the Sun is primarily gravitational force. This force is described by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that every mass attracts every other mass with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. This gravitational attraction is what keeps the Earth in orbit around the Sun.

What is the term for the relationship between the distance on the map and actual distance on earth's surface?

The term for the relationship between the distance on the map and actual distance is the "scale"For example, the scale may be 1 inch equals 10 miles.So for every inch on the map it relates to 10 miles in the real world.The scale is usually shown in the bottom right corner of the map.
