When the earth was made how far away was the moon?
It is estimated that the moon was formed about 4.5 billion years ago, approximately 384,400 kilometers or 238,855 miles away from Earth.
How far in light years is the moon from the earth?
The average distance to the Moon is 384,399 kilometres = 4.06318742 × 10-8 light years (Note the minus) The moon is only a tiny fraction of one light year from earth. It takes light from the sun eight minutes to reach earth, and the moon is much closer to earth than the sun. Measuring such a small distance in light years is possible but impractical. ======================================= The moon is roughly 1.27 light seconds from the earth. (rounded) 1.27 light seconds is the same as 0.0000000406 light year. (rounded)
How far away was the moon from the earth 4 billion years ago?
Around 4 billion years ago, the Moon was significantly closer to Earth than it is today, approximately 15,000 to 20,000 kilometers (about 9,300 to 12,400 miles) away. This proximity was due to the Moon's formation and the gravitational interactions between the Earth and Moon shortly after the Moon's formation. Over time, tidal forces have gradually caused the Moon to drift away, currently averaging about 384,400 kilometers (238,855 miles) from Earth.
Is the moon at apogee near or far from the earth?
Its far, apo means up/away
Why is there high tides on the side of Earth farthest from the moon?
The moon pulls on the water AND the earth leaving the water on the far side behind.
How far the moon from Earth in light years?
The distance to the moon is about 1.3 light seconds or about 0.000000032 light years.
What is bigger the moon or the earth?
Earth, by far.
How far is Uranus from the moon?
For all practical purposesUranus is just as far from Earth's moon as it is from the Earth.
How far will the moon move away from the earth in 1000000 years?
The moon is drifting away from earth at a rate of about 38 millimeters per year. So in 1 million years, the moon will have drifted another 38 kilometers or abour 24 miles further from Earth.
How far could you see if you were on the moon?
Like on Earth you can see millions of light years into space.
What do the distances of the the moon to the earth and the sun to the earth mean?
"Distance" means how far two object are from one another. In this case, how far the Moon is from Earth, or how far the Sun is from Earth.
How far will the moon have receded from the earth in 1000 years?
It seems that the Moon recedes from Earth at a rate of 38 mm a year. That makes it 38,000 mm in 1000 years. That's 38 meters.
How far does the moon move away from the Earth in on year?
About 1 second away every 50,000 years
How far away is the moon from earth in light years?
The moon is about 1.278 light-seconds from Earth.Converting that figure to the equivalent fraction of a year, I get0.000 000 040 486 light-year (rounded)
Why can you not stand on earth and see the far side of the moon?
The Moon is tidally locked to Earth; the Moon's "day" and the Moon's month are the same length. So the "near side" of the Moon always faces the Earth, and the "far side" always faces away from Earth.
When the earth was made how far away was the moon?
It is estimated that the moon was formed about 4.5 billion years ago, approximately 384,400 kilometers or 238,855 miles away from Earth.
How for moon from earth?
How FAR is the moon from the Earth? About a quarter of a million miles away. ~250,000 miles.
