Dear Inquirer,
The difference between the distance of Earth to the Moon (238,857 miles), and Earth to Jupiter (390,682,810 - 576,682,810 miles) is anywhere from:
390,449,953 mi (closest)
to
576,443,953 mi (farthest apart)

Is the moon or neptune farther from earth?
The moon is about 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles) from Earth, and about 4,564 million kilometers (2,835 million miles) from Neptune. So, the moon is much closer to the Earth, Neptune over 10,000 times farther away.
Does the moon have to be closer to earth or sun during a solar eclipse?
The moon is ALWAYS much closer to the Earth than it is to the sun. For a solar eclipse, the three bodies have to be lined up, with the moon in the 'middle'. The SIZE of the eclipse (I.E. area covered in shadow) changes if the moon is slightly closer or slightly farther away from Earth. If the Moon is closer to the earth, then the shadowed area is larger. If it is farther from the earth, then the shadowed area is smaller.
Is the sun or the moon furthest from earth?
The Moon is farther from the Sun, roughly the same average distance from the Sun as the Earth. The Sun is nearly 400 times farther from the Earth and Moon (150 million kilometers) than the Moon is from the Earth (about 384,000 kilometers).The center of the Earth is around 240 thousand miles away from the center of the Moon. The earth is around 93 millionmiles away from the sun. Therefore, the Moon is much, much farther away from the Sun than it is from the Earth.
How much 100 pounds be on Jupiter?
There are lots of ifs in this question and answer. If the 100 pound Earth object could rest on the outer surface of Jupiter the answer would be 250 pounds. But, Jupiter is a gas planet. That is, Jupiter is primarily made of gas and liquid. So, the object could not rest on the outer surface. There may be a solid surface near it's center but no one knows. Jupiter is 318 times as heavy as Earth so if Jupiter were solid and the size of Earth the object would weigh 318 times a much or 31,800 pounds. But, it is much larger than Earth so the outer surface is much farther from the center. The farther away the object is from the center the less the object will weigh.
What are the factors that keep the Moon in orbit around Earth?
The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon keep things together. The moon is slowly getting farther from Earth, however. Ancient humans would have seen a much larger moon in the night sky...
Were astronauts on europa moon?
No. Astronauts have visited Earth's Moon. The next place to visit will be Mars. Europa is a moon of Jupiter, so it is MUCH farther away.
Why does the moon appear much larger than Jupiter in the night sky?
Because the moon is much closer to us. Jupiter is more than a thousand times farther away than the moon.
How does the amount of gravity change between Earth and Jupiter?
Since Jupiter is further than the moon, there is not as much gravity as the Earth and moon.
How much farther is it from earth to your moon?
Not much further than it is from yours.
How much farther is the sun from earth than the moon from earth?
Find the distance from the earth to the moon, then the the distance from the earth to the sun, and simply subtract the both.
How much gravity is there on Jupiter's moon Callisto?
Very little - 0.126g. About a 8th of what there is on Earth
Why is Jupiter moving slower than earth around the sun shouldn't farther from the sun and heavier than the earth mean faster?
Jupiter moves slower than earth around the sun because the distance between the them is much farther than earth's distance to the sun. Gravity has a stronger pull on earth because gravity depends on the masses and the distance between the objects. (Sun)---->Earth (Sun)---- - - - - - - ->Jupiter
Where would you be if you traveled 6000000 miles into space?
Farther than the Moon, but still much closer to Earth than to any other planet.Farther than the Moon, but still much closer to Earth than to any other planet.Farther than the Moon, but still much closer to Earth than to any other planet.Farther than the Moon, but still much closer to Earth than to any other planet.
Compared to Earth Jupiter is much smaller has no moon or rotates more quickly?
it rotates quicker

How much farther is the Sun from the Moon than the Earth?
The Earth and the Moon are an average of 384,000 kilometers apart. The Sun is always more than 350 times farther from either the Earth or the Moon, and usually more than 400 times as far. The Earth-Moon system orbits about 150,000,000 kilometers from the Sun. The Earth-Moon distance is between 362,570 and 405,410 kilometers. The Moon-Sun distance is between and 146,688,000 and 152,508,000 kilometers.
