The average distance between Earth and the Moon (or Luna) has been measured at about 384,400 km (238,885 mi), and the furthest at 405,500 km (251,966 mi), about 30 times the earth's diameter.

The approximate diameter of the Sun is 1,448,400 km (900,000 mi), making it more than 110 times that of Earth.

Conclusion:

Despite being the undeniably biggest object in our system, the moon would need to be just 3.7 times further away (or the sun would need to be 3.7 times smaller) before the sun could fit between us.

Conciliation:

Jupiter, the second largest sphere in our system at about 142,825 km (88,747 mi) in diameter, could fit between the Earth and Moon more than 2½ times.

How many Earth's would fit between the Earth and the Moon?

You could fit around 30 Earths in between the Earth and the Moon. This distance is about 384,400 kilometers.


How many moons would fit inside Earth?

(This answer assumes that a moon is a moon the size of Earth's moon) The volume of Earth is about 49 times bigger than the moon, so Earth has enough space for 49 moons if there were no space between the moons. If both Earth and the moons are assumed to be perfect spheres (which they aren't quite), then about 36 moons would fit inside Earth, since there is no way to put all the moons inside Earth without there being space in between them.

Why aren't stars between Earth and the moon?
