The Moon is farther from the Sun, roughly the same average distance from the Sun as the Earth. The Sun is nearly 400 times farther from the Earth and Moon (150 million kilometers) than the Moon is from the Earth (about 384,000 kilometers).

The center of the Earth is around 240 thousand miles away from the center of the Moon. The earth is around 93 millionmiles away from the sun. Therefore, the Moon is much, much farther away from the Sun than it is from the Earth.

When the Moon is farthest from the Earth this point is called .?

The moon is said to be at its Perigee when at its closest point to the Earth, Apogee when at its furthest point. Perigee and Apogee can also be used for other objects when orbiting about the Earth. If we talk about objects orbiting the sun (such as the planets) we use the term Perihelion and Aphelion (the helion part coming from the latin name of helios for the sun). If the perigee coincides with a full moon, we get a `supermoon`. The moon is at its largest circumference as it is at its closest, and is also full.
