Our moons average distance from the Earth is 238,854 miles (384,399 km).

However the Moon's orbit is elliptical and the distance therefore varies during its orbit though, from around 252,088 miles (405,696 km) at its furthest (Apogee) to 225,622 miles (363,104 km) at its closest (Perigee).

What layer of the Earth's atmosphere is the Moon in?

The moon is far beyond the earth's atmosphere. The boundary between the atmosphere and outer space is generally considered to be an altitude of 62 miles, although there is a noticeable effect on spacecraft as high as 75 miles. The average distance from the earth to the moon is 233,000 miles.


How far away is the sun in miles?

It varies - the moon orbits the Earth so the distance will change depending on Earth's distance from the sun as well as the moon's distance from the Earth. The minimum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is closest to the sun and the moon is in new moon phase (meaning its closer to the sun than the Earth). The distance from the moon to the sun is: Earth's distance at perihelion - moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 146,692,370 km. The maximum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is farthest from the sun and the moon is in full moon phase. The distance from the moon to the sun is Earth's distance at aphelion + moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 150,503,400 km.


What is the distance between earth and heaven?

In terms of physical measurement, the distance between Earth and heaven is not known as heaven is considered a spiritual or metaphysical realm, not a physical location in space. Different belief systems and cultures have their own interpretations of where or what heaven is.


How far away is the moom from the earth in miles?

The average distance fromEarth to Moon is 384,403 km (238,857 miles). Before you put this answer into your homework you've got to understand that the Moon takes an elliptical path around the Earth. That number, 384,403 km is an average distance that astronomers call the semi-major axis. The Moon can get closer to the Earth and it can get further. At its closest point, known as the perihelion, the Moon is only 363,104 km (225,622 miles). And at its most distant point, called aphelion, the Moon gets to a distance of 406,696 km (252,088 miles).


How many millimeters is the earth from the moon?

On average, the distance between the Earth and the Moon is about 384,400 kilometers. To convert this to millimeters, you would multiply by 1,000,000, so the distance in millimeters is about 384,400,000,000 millimeters.

Is the moon closer to earth or is mars?

The Earth's distance from the moon or Mars is always changing. The closest the moon can get to Earth is 225,622 miles. The farthest it can get is 252,088 miles. The closest possible distance from Earth to Mars is 33.9 million miles. Therefore the Earth is always much closer to the moon than Mars, no matter where they are in orbit.


Which is closer to New York the moon or Paris and is any distance on Earth greater than the distance to the moon?

Paris. The moon is about 220,000 miles away from Earth. Earth's circumference is about 25,000 miles. Paris is much closer to New York (3,636 miles) then the moon (238,857 miles). No distance between two places on Earth is greater than the distance to the moon. The circumference of the Earth is only 24,901 miles so that's pretty much the furthest you can go between two points on Earth. The distance to the moon as mentioned is over 238,857 miles.
