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.

Is the super moon the closest to earth ever?

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.


Has the moon always been the same distance from Earth?

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.


Is mercury the closest planet to earth?

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).


How close does the moon ever come to earth?

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.


How many meters is the mars from the 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).

What is Mars's shortest distance from the earth?

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.

How long would it take to travel to Saturn from earth at the speed of light?

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.
