The moon is about 239000 miles away from what?
planet earth
Is the moon moving closer to the Earth or farther away?
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.
Why can we see craters on the moon so clearly from Earth?
In astronomical terms the moon is very close to Earth, much closer than anything else. Other astronomical bodies have similar cratering but are too far away for us to see them. Second, the moon is geologically dead. There are no processes on the moon's surface to destroy or bury the craters on the moon as has happened to Earth's craters.
How much does the moon move away from earth each year?
The moon moves away from Earth at a rate of approximately 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) per year due to tidal forces. This gradual drift is caused by the transfer of Earth's rotational energy to the moon's orbital motion.
Is the north star closer to the earth than the moon?
No, the North Star (Polaris) is much farther from the Earth than the Moon. The Moon is approximately 238,855 miles away from Earth, while Polaris is about 434 light-years away.

Where is the moon with respective to the earth in the solar system?

Which is the nearest the moon or the sun?
The Moon is closer at 384400 km (0.0026 AU) away from Earth while the Sun is 150000000 KM (1 AU) from Earth.
What is the phase of the moon that happens when the lighted half faces away from earth?
If the hemisphere that is 'lit' is facing away from the earth then it is a new moon
How do you find the approximate length of the equator of the moon?
From earth the moon subtends an angle of 0.5 degrees. The ancient Greeks determined that the moon was approximately 60 earth radii away. Using simple trigonometry, the diameter of the moon would therefore be (60/2) tan(0.5°) = 0.26 earth diameters, or about 2000 miles. [The actual diameter is 2160 miles]. That makes the circumference 2000(pi) = 6300 miles [actual equatorial distance is 6786 miles].
How for moon from earth?
How FAR is the moon from the Earth? About a quarter of a million miles away. ~250,000 miles.
How many planets away from the earth is the moon?
No planets away.
