The moon's average distance from the sun is the same as the earth's average distance from the sun. When you think about it ... the moon orbits around the earth, so it's closer to the sun half the time, and farther from the sun half the time ... averaging out to the same distance from the sun as the earth is. In any case, the moon averages 238,000 miles from the earth, which is less than 1/4 million, and that doesn't make much difference compared to the 93 million average between the earth and the sun ... less than 1/4 of 1 percent.

How many miles is there from the surface of the Earth all the way to the moon?

That varies considerably between apogee (furthest) and perigee (closest approach). The average is roughly 234 thousand miles. (I subtracted 4000 miles--earth's radius--from the value given in the site cited below).


How many kilometres is moon away from us answer in km?

At perigee - its closest approach - the moon comes as close as 225,623 miles (363,104 kilometers). At apogee - the farthest away it gets - the moon is 252,088 miles (405,696 km) from Earth. On average, the distance from Earth to the moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 km).


How many kilometers the moon is away from the earth?

The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 384,400 kilometers (238,855 miles). This distance can vary slightly due to the Moon's elliptical orbit, ranging from approximately 363,300 kilometers (225,623 miles) at its closest (perigee) to about 405,500 kilometers (251,966 miles) at its farthest (apogee).


How many km to the moon?

Since the Moon is very close to the Earth, that would be the same, on average, as the distance from Earth to Sun.


Apogee in a sentence?

When an intercontinental ballistic missile is fired, its apogee is usually many miles above the Earth's surface.


How many miles are between the earth and the moon?

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).


How many killometers is the moom from the sun?

-- The semi-major-axis of the lunar orbit is 384,403 km (238,857 miles). -- The distance at perigee (closest point to Earth) is 363,104 km (225,622 miles). -- The distance at apogee (farthest point from Earth) is 406,696 km (252,088 miles).


How many from the earth to the moon?

The question makes no sense whatsoever. But if you're referring to distance: The distance between the Earth and the moon varies between 363,104 km at its perigee (closest to Earth) and 405,696 km at its apogee (farthest from Earth). Although, every year the moon floats about 4cm further away from Earth.


How many times does the moon change size?

The moon does not actually change size. Its apparent size varies due to its elliptical orbit around the Earth, causing it to sometimes appear larger (at perigee) or smaller (at apogee) in the sky.


Is the orbit of moon around the earth is elliptical or round?

As seen by an observer on the Earth, the Moon's apparent orbit is distinctly elliptical. The orbit is subject to many perturbations and variations because of the Earth's elliptical motion around the Sun, and the fluid tidal envelope sloshing around the Earth. The eccentricity of the Moon's orbit varies between 0.026 and 0.077 .


What is High Moon and Perigee?

"High Moon" is the day that the moon is at its most direct angle over your location."Perigee" is the point in the lunar orbit where the moon is nearest to the earth thus exerting its greatest influence. Both of these influences as well as many others are reflected in Weather and Wildlife ratings


How many days does it take to get to the moon going 70 miles per hour?

If you go straight there, and don't bother with things like parking orbits, trans-lunar injection, acceleration, deceleration, etc., just surface-to-surface, it would take you roughly 141 and 2/3 days. It also depends on whether you go at the time of perigee or apogee, whether you manage to avoid the afternoon rush hour, etc.
