The Ancient Greeks attempted to measure the relative distances to the moon and the sun. Notably, the Greek philosopher Aristarchus proposed a method for determining the distance to the moon based on the angle between the sun and the moon during a half-moon phase.

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 is not possible to measure the distance to the moon in cups of sugar. The distance to the moon is approximately 238,855 miles.

The average distance between the Moon and Earth is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers). This distance can vary due to the elliptical shape of the Moon's orbit. Scientists use radar ranging and laser ranging techniques to precisely measure this distance.
