Yes and no.
The current average orbital distance between the Earth and the Moon is 384,400 kilometers (= 238,855.0863 miles).
However, the Moons orbit is not a circle round the Earth it is an ellipse. This takes it further away (and nearer) to the Earth at times. The furthest away is "Apogee" = 405 410 kilometers = (251,910.09504 miles), while the nearest to is "Perigee" = 362,570 kilometers = (225,290.55317 miles).
Thus "yes" there are times when the Moon is 250,000 miles from Earth.
Also note that each year the distance between the Earth and the Moon is increasing (at about the rate that your fingernails grow) by 3.82±0.07cm per year. This is caused by the tidal interaction between the Earth and the Moon and means that in the far past the Moon was much much closer to the Earth.
The average distance the Moon travels around the Earth in its orbit is about 1,423,000 miles (or 2,288,000 kilometers).
2,288 miles per hour
The Moon revolves around the Earth once in about 27.32 days. At its orbital distanceof about 238,000 miles, that works out to an average of about 2,281 miles per hourrelative to the center of the Earth.
the average distance is 238,857 miles or 384,403 kilometres
It is a bit less than a quarter of a million miles from the Earth to the moon.
The Earth-moon distance is about 250000 miles
250,000 miles = 1,320,000,000 feet
250000 miles
Well, in all truth, the answer would depend on the direction and the time (yearwise), but within the plain of the ecliptic, it would be somewhere in or around the asteroid belt. pt...

250000 miles away
The average distance from the earth to the moon is approx 250000 miles. If you could travel to the moon at 25000 in a staright line, it would take 10 hours.
The moon's average velocity around Earth is about 2,288 miles per hour.
If you are asking how far the Moon is from the Earth, the easy answer is about 250,000 miles or 400,000 kilometers. If you want to know how long is the orbit of the Moon (the length of its journey around the Earth each month) then the answer is roughly 1,570,000 miles or 2,528,000 kilometers.
The speed of the moon as it travels around the earth is approximately 2,288 miles per hour.
The moon's elevation above Earth varies, but the average is around 238,000 miles.
The average distance the Moon travels around the Earth in its orbit is about 1,423,000 miles (or 2,288,000 kilometers).
