Oh what a fascinating question, friend! The closest the moon has ever been to Earth is about 225,623 miles. It's wonderful to ponder on the various distances and beauty in nature, isn't it? It truly teaches us to appreciate all the amazing things around us.
No, the supermoon is not the closest the Moon has ever been to Earth. A supermoon occurs when the Moon is full and at its closest point in its elliptical orbit, known as perigee. While supermoons can appear larger and brighter than usual, the actual distance varies with each occurrence, and there have been times in the past when the Moon was closer to Earth than during recent supermoons.
No it has not, because the gravitational pull has not always been the same. It is closer to Earth than it ever has been before.
It can be sometimes, but Venus can be closer than Mercury ever can; Mercury is only the closest planet to Earth when Venus is on the opposite side of the Sun from Mercury and Earth, and maybe not even then (depending on exactly where Mars is).
The moon's distance from Earth varies because its orbit is elliptical. On average, the moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers) away from Earth. At its closest point, called perigee, the moon can come as close as about 225,623 miles (363,104 kilometers) from Earth.
The distance between Earth and Mars depends on their alignment (i.e. relative locations within their orbit) to one another. The closest they ever come is 55.7x10^6km (or 55,700,000m), and the furthest they can be is 401.3x10^6km (or 401,300,000m).
34.65 million miles. the closest it has ever been
August the 27th of this year (2009) is when Mars is to be the closest it has ever been to the earth. It is supposedly to be about the same size in the sky as the moon.
Besides the flood of Noah's time the Cuban Missil Crisis came pretty close.
The minimum distance is approximately 54,500,000 km (34 million miles). The farthest the Earth ever gets from the Sun is 152 million kilometers and the nearest Mars ever gets to the Sun is 207 million kilometers. So Earth and Mars could, very rarely, be a little less than 55 million kilometers (34 million miles) apart, when they are directly in line with the Sun. The closest recent distance was in 2003, when they were 56 million kilometers at closest approach.
No it has not, because the gravitational pull has not always been the same. It is closer to Earth than it ever has been before.
No people have ever gone farther away from the Earth than the Moon, so that's the closest to the Sun that any man has ever been.
Nobody has ever been to Pluto. The only body that astronauts have walked onbesides Earth is the moon. The closest to Earth that Pluto can ever get is morethan 11 thousand times farther than the moon.
It can be sometimes, but Venus can be closer than Mercury ever can; Mercury is only the closest planet to Earth when Venus is on the opposite side of the Sun from Mercury and Earth, and maybe not even then (depending on exactly where Mars is).
Working with very, very round numbers . . .-- The Earth's average distance from the sun is 1 AU.-- Saturn's average distance from the sun is 9 AU.-- The closest together that Earth and Saturn can ever be is 8 AU = 66.5 minutes at light speed.-- The farthest apart that Earth and Saturn can ever be is 10 AU = 83.2 minutes at light speed.

The closest has been a one point loss.
