How far can the moon be from the sun?

Since the moon orbits Earth, it is always about the same distance from the sun as Earth is. At its farthest point (aphelion), Earth is about 94 million miles from the sun. The moon's orbit around Earth can add about 250,000 miles to that if it reaches its farthest point from Earth (apogee) during the full moon phase. This is a difference about 0.27% the Earth's distance tot he sun.
