Any standard unit of length will do, but really it just depends where you live. In the U.S. miles are typically used, in which case the distance is roughly 240 million miles.
In most other countries and the scientific community the metric system is preferred, giving us about 384 million kilometers.
One method is triangulation. Measure the direction of the Moon from two different places on Earth simultaneously. Use the line between the two observations as the base line and there is a triangle to be solved.
The distance between the earth and the moon was first estimated by the Greek astronomer, Aristarchus, around the third century B.C. by observing a lunar eclipse.
From what I know you measure it with lightyears.
You should use the Astronomical Unit. One AU is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun.
By means of a laser ; see relevant link .

The average distance from earth to the moon is 384,400 km(238,900 miles).The average distance from earth to the sun is 150 million km (93,000,000 miles).The moon revolves around earth, so distance to the sun is around 93 million miles (+/- 238,900 miles).
The Moon gives the Earth tides and the Earth keeps the Moon orbiting the Earth because of the gravitational pull.
Your weight is the force that is exerted on you by gravity. Your weight is what pulls you down to earth, or indeed any planet or moon that you happen to be on.Your mass is simply a measure of how much matter there is. It is responsible for the force of gravity and so the greater the mass of either you or the celestial object that you're standing, then the gravitational force acting between you and the object will increase, and therefore so will your weight.Hence, as the local gravitational field strength is weaker on the moon compared to on earth (because of its lesser mass), on the moon your weight is also lesser, but your mass will remain the same.In everyday usage, measuring weight is a method of finding your mass. By measuring your weight, we can factor out the gravitational field strength, which is roughly constant across the planet, and find your mass. Thus we tend to talk about weighing ourselves, even though kilograms and stones are a measure of mass.

The Earth has a diameter of 12742km on average. It is a slightly squashed sphere though, due to its spin pushing out at the equator. Its polar diameter is 12714km, while its diameter at the equator is 12756km. The diameter of the moon is 3474km.
The mathematical equation which describes how to measure the distance from Earth to the moon using Earth's diameter as a unit of measure is d = Dcot(p/2)/2 Where d is the distance from Earth to the moon, D is the diameter of the Earth and p is the angle of parallax subtended at moon by the diameter of the Earth.
It's a measure of how far apart they are.

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
The distance from earth to the moon is 250,000 miles.
Moon/Distance to Earth 238,900 mi
The distance from the moon to the Earth is 238,900 miles.
The same as between the Moon and the Earth. The distance from the clouds to the surface of the Earth is insignificant, compared to the Moon-Earth distance.The same as between the Moon and the Earth.
