Any standard unit of length will do, but really it just depends where you live. In the U.S. miles are typically used, in which case the distance is roughly 240 million miles.
In most other countries and the scientific community the metric system is preferred, giving us about 384 million kilometers.

Moons distance from sun?
The average distance from earth to the moon is 384,400 km(238,900 miles).The average distance from earth to the sun is 150 million km (93,000,000 miles).The moon revolves around earth, so distance to the sun is around 93 million miles (+/- 238,900 miles).
What is the relationship between the earth and moon?
The Moon gives the Earth tides and the Earth keeps the Moon orbiting the Earth because of the gravitational pull.
Which Four things used to measure time on earth are?
sundial, watch, clock, calendar, hourglass, egg timer, metronome, sun, moon........
What factor causes the difference between weight and mass?
Your weight is the force that is exerted on you by gravity. Your weight is what pulls you down to earth, or indeed any planet or moon that you happen to be on.Your mass is simply a measure of how much matter there is. It is responsible for the force of gravity and so the greater the mass of either you or the celestial object that you're standing, then the gravitational force acting between you and the object will increase, and therefore so will your weight.Hence, as the local gravitational field strength is weaker on the moon compared to on earth (because of its lesser mass), on the moon your weight is also lesser, but your mass will remain the same.In everyday usage, measuring weight is a method of finding your mass. By measuring your weight, we can factor out the gravitational field strength, which is roughly constant across the planet, and find your mass. Thus we tend to talk about weighing ourselves, even though kilograms and stones are a measure of mass.
What is the size relationship between earth and moon?
The Earth has a diameter of 12742km on average. It is a slightly squashed sphere though, due to its spin pushing out at the equator. Its polar diameter is 12714km, while its diameter at the equator is 12756km. The diameter of the moon is 3474km.
What mathematical equation describes how to measure the distance from earth to the moon using earths diameter as a unit of measure?
The mathematical equation which describes how to measure the distance from Earth to the moon using Earth's diameter as a unit of measure is d = Dcot(p/2)/2 Where d is the distance from Earth to the moon, D is the diameter of the Earth and p is the angle of parallax subtended at moon by the diameter of the Earth.
How far is the moon from the earth show the math?
The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 384,400 kilometers. This distance can be calculated by measuring the straight line distance between the centers of the Earth and the Moon. The formula to calculate this is often derived from the Pythagorean theorem in three-dimensional space, taking into account the radius of the Earth and the distance between the Earth and the Moon as the other two sides of a right-angled triangle.
What does the distance between the earth and sun and moon and earth mean?
It's a measure of how far apart they are.
What is the name of the beam of light used to measure the distance from earth to moon?
Laser
What do scientists use to accurately measure the distance between the earth and the moon?
a stick.
What would be a reasonable unit to use to measure the distance from earth to the moon?
Feet
What metric unit of measurement would you use to measure the distance from the earth to the moon?
Kilometers
What is the distance the moon is from earth?
Moon/Distance to Earth 238,900 mi
What distance is from the Earth to the Moon?
The distance from earth to the moon is 250,000 miles.
How far is the earths moon from mercury?
Varying from the the distance from the Earth to the Moon + the distance from the sun to the earth + the distance from mercury to the sun, to the distance from the earth to the sun - the distance from mercury to the sun - the distance from the earth to the moon
How do you find the distance between the Moon and the Earth?
The average distance between the Moon and Earth is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers). This distance can vary due to the elliptical shape of the Moon's orbit. Scientists use radar ranging and laser ranging techniques to precisely measure this distance.
What mathematical equation describes how to measure the distance from Earth to the moon using Earth's diameter as a unit of measure?
You don't need a mathematical equation. All you need are the numbers.In round, approximate numbers:-- Earth diameter = 12,750 km-- Moon diameter = 3,475 kmIf you want a 'ratio' to amaze your friends with, then you can use an actualmathematical equation for that:The ratio of the Earth's diameter to the Moon's diameter isDE / DM = 3.669 (rounded)-- The linear dimensions of the Earth are 3.669 times as large as those of the moon.By simple geometry, then, you can say that . . .-- the Earth's surface area is 13.462 times that of the moon,-- Earth's volume is 49.39 times the Moon's volume.(If you're in the league of those that are comfortable with mathematical equationsand like to toss them around, then you find that some consider the phrase "timessmaller" to be quite arbitrary, while to others, it has no meaning at all.)
