The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers), while the average distance from the Earth to the Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). This means the Sun is approximately 390 times farther away from the Moon than the Moon is from the Earth. Therefore, the Sun is roughly 390 times the distance from the Moon as it is from the Earth.

Which is further the distance from earth to the moon or 10 times round the world?
Ten times round the world at the equator is slightly further than the average distance to the Moon.
Is earth closer to the sun then the moon?
Yes - and no !... The moon orbits the earth - so - there will be times each day, when it's closer to the sun than the earth is. During the earth's 'night time' - the moon is further away from the sun.
Has any one been near Venus?
No. No astronauts have gone further away than the moon. Venus is much further away from us than that.
What if the moon was further away?
If the moon were further away, it would appear smaller in the sky. Tides would be weaker than they are now, affecting marine life and coastal ecosystems. The moon's influence on Earth's rotation and axial tilt may also change.
Would the moon be as big as the sun on a solar eclipse?
The moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun, but the sun is about 400 times further away, so from our viewpoint on earth, they appear the same size in the sky. Coincidence or designed that way? - well that's another discussion...
Why does the sun look the same size as the moon although it is many millions times bigger?
Because it's further away from the Earth.
Is the sun nearer to earth than the moon?
No, the sun is 40 times further away than the moon from the Earth.
Does the moon get further away as it rotates around the earth?
the moon stays in the same place at the same size at all times. it just rotates.

Is the moon or fl closer to Sylacauga AL?
Florida is closer. The moon is about 20 times further away than any two points on earth are.
Is the moon moving closer to the Earth or farther away?
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.
Over millions of years the moon is moving further away from the earth what will happen to the gravitational attraction between the moon and the earth as the moon gets further away?
As the moon gets further and further away, the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon decreases. Because the Moon is not being attracted but being pushed away from the Earth. If the gravitational force would have increased, the moon would come closer and closer to the Earth.
Which is further the distance from earth to the moon or 10 times round the world?
Ten times round the world at the equator is slightly further than the average distance to the Moon.
Are the stars further than the moon?
