The Moon is from 356 to 406 thousand kilometers from Earth. The time to travel between them depends on the propulsion system used. Using the smallest craft, the smallest amount of fuel and the minimum number of people, it took three days to get from the Moon to Earth in the 1970s. But using powerful electric rail-guns, sending back only industrial products to low Earth orbit would be done in under 2 days. Laser light from the moon takes less than two seconds to travel to Earth. (More or less depending on where the Moon is.)

Just like the time required for any other trip to anywhere, that depends on your travel speed.

The moon's average distance from the earth is 238,000 miles.

-- If you're walking briskly, at 4 miles per hour, you need 2,479 days (6.8 years) to cover the distance.

-- Driving at 60 mph, you need 165 days.

-- Flying a commercial jetliner at 400 mph, it would take 24.8 days.

-- At the speed of sound, 760 mph, it would take 13 days.

-- The Apollo moon-landing missions took 3 days to reach the moon.

-- Radio signals or flashes of light, at 186,282 mph, take 1.3 seconds to get there (0.0000148 day).

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.

What is the Moon's maximum distance from the sun?

That would be the Earth's distance from the Sun (at aphelion) plus the Earth-Moon distance. The latter is insignificant.


What is the minimum work that has to be performed to bring a spaceship of mass 2000kg from the surface of the Earth to the Moon?

We would have to know the masses of the Earth and the Moon to figure that out. But I will tell you this: The minimum work done is the energy needed to get the spaceship to the point between the Earth and the Moon where the gravitational influences of the two celestial objects cancel each other. After it passes this point, the spaceship will be pulled towards the Moon by the Moon's gravitational attraction, thus eliminating the need to push the spaceship further.

What is the distance from the moon to the earth in meters?

The distance between the moon and the earth is 384,403,000 meters.The distance from earth to the moon is -Apogee - 405,696,000 metresPerigee - 363,104,000 metres


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.
