What is a 0.85 lunar distance in kilometers?

A lunar distance is equivalent to the distance from the Earth to the Moon which is approx. 384,000km. So to convert lunar distances to km, just multiply the lunar distance by 384,000. In this case .85*384,000 = 326,400km. And if you're referring to Asteroid 2005 YU55, then it will pass closer to us than the Moon does.
