The Earth-Moon L2 point is about 33,000 miles (60,000 km) beyond the far side of the Moon. Adding this to the average distance from the Earth to the Moon of about 239,000 miles gives a total distance of about 272,000 miles from Earth to the Earth-Moon Lagrange L2 point.

What is the distance of the Earth-Sun Lagrange point L5 from Earth?
L4 and L5 of Earth-Sun system are on the corners of equilateral triangle with a side of 1 AU. The distance between Earth and L5 point is about the same as between Earth and Sun.
What is the distance of the earth-moon lagrange pointfrom the earth?
*** original answer *** i dont have a clue what you are talking about but the earth is far bigger than the moon ******************* *** correct answer *** There are actually 5 Lagrange points in any two body system. I assume you're referring to the L1 point. This is the point along the line between the Earth and Moon where the gravitational forces from each body equal each other. That point is roughly 345,000 km from the center of the Earth (the Earth's radius is ~6378 km). The total distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 384,000 km. *******************
What is the distance between earth and L4?
Depends on the question you're asking. First, do you mean the L4 point for the Earth's orbit around the sun or the moon's orbit around Earth? Second, do you mean the straight line distance or the arc distance along the orbital path? The L4 point in an orbit is 60 degrees of orbit ahead of the body. (It's third point of an equilateral triangle between the two bodies and a point in orbit ahead of the body, and an equilateral triangle has three 60 degree angles.) One full orbit of a planet is a circle, which is 360 degrees. Thus, the orbital arc distance is approximately 60/360ths, or about one sixth of the circumference of the orbit of the body. In the case of the Earth's Lagrange point relative to the sun, that's one sixth of about 942 million km, or about 157 million kilometers around the orbit. The straight line distance is much easier. It's an equilateral triangle. Thus, the distance in a straight line from the Earth to the L4 point is the same as the distance from the L4 point to the sun, which in turn is the same as the distance from the Earth to the sun. That's approximately 150 million kilometers, though this is necessarily an approximation due to the elliptical nature of Earth's orbit. (*Oh, good, the numbers are close. That probably means I didn't screw this up too badly.*) If you're talking about the distance from the Earth to the moon's L4 Lagrange point, that would be the same as the distance from the Earth to the moon, or an average of about 382,500 km. Hope that helps.
What is the distance of the Earth to Moon point L5 from Earth?
It's distance varies from about 221,000 to 252,000 miles.
How big is Earth-Sun L4?
The Lagrange designations refer to single points in space. The Sun-Earth L4 point lies 60° ahead of the Earth as it orbits the Sun. The region around this point contains interplanetary dust and at least one asteroid, 2010 TK7 , detected in October 2010.

What is the point called between the sun and the earth where they wound exert the same force on an object?
I don't think such a point has a special name. Perhaps you are thinking of the Lagrange points, but that's not exactly the same.
When was Lagrange Point - video game - created?
Lagrange Point - video game - was created on 1991-04-26.
How far away will the James Webb telescope be from Earth?
Webb is going to the second Lagrange (L2) point, which is 1 million miles (1.5 million km) away from Earth.
Where is its gravitational potential energy minimum?
The answer depends on what "it" is and the overall context. The answer could be the centre of the earth where the earth's gravity has no effect, or the Lagrange point where the gravitational forces of the moon, earth and sun balance each other.
What is the distance of the Earth to Moon point L5 from Earth?
It's distance varies from about 221,000 to 252,000 miles.

What would happen if the Earth intersected a Lagrange point of two massive intergalactic stars?
This could not happen because the Earth is located within the Milky Way galaxy. Intergalactic stars are located outside of Galaxies.
What is the halfway point between Lagrange Ohio and Montgomery Alabama?
Honeybee, KY is the halfway point.
