Earth is affected by the moon's gravity. The moon's gravity exerts just as much force on Earth as Earth's gravity does on the moon, but since Earth is far more massive, it undergoes far less acceleration.
Earth's moon is unusually large in proportion to its planet.

Earth, by far.
For all practical purposesUranus is just as far from Earth's moon as it is from the Earth.

"Distance" means how far two object are from one another. In this case, how far the Moon is from Earth, or how far the Sun is from Earth.

The Earth-moon distance is about 250000 miles
The Moon is tidally locked to Earth; the Moon's "day" and the Moon's month are the same length. So the "near side" of the Moon always faces the Earth, and the "far side" always faces away from Earth.
The Moon was - probably - formed when a planet perhaps as large as Mars collided with the Earth. The mass blown out of the Earth merged with the fragments of the other, now destroyed, planet to form the Moon. How far apart are two colliding cars? Zero.

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