How far is the earths moon from mercury?

Varying from the the distance from the Earth to the Moon + the distance from the sun to the earth + the distance from mercury to the sun, to the distance from the earth to the sun - the distance from mercury to the sun - the distance from the earth to the 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.


What is the distance of the sun and the moon?

The Sun is at a distance of about 150 million kilometers from Earth; the Moon is at a distance of about 380,000 kilometers from Earth.


How much closer is the moon to the sun?

The moon's average distance from the sun is exactly the same as the earth's average distance from the sun.


What is the Moon's maximum distance from the sun?

That would be the Earth's distance from the Sun (at aphelion) plus the Earth-Moon distance. The latter is insignificant.


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.

What is the distance in kilometer's Jupiter to the sun?

On average, Jupiter is 779 million kilometers from the Sun


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.


What is the average distance from the earth to the sun in kilometer?

Which is larger the Sun's radius or the distance between the Moon and Earth?

The distance between the Moon and Earth is larger than the Sun's radius. The average distance between the Moon and Earth is about 384,400 km while the Sun's radius is about 696,340 km.


How close can the moon get to the sun?

The moon orbits the Earth at about 250,000 miles, so its distance is dependent on the Earth's distance from the Sun, which on average is 93,000,000 (93 million) miles. So really, the moon's distance from the Sun varies very little.
