  • Moon Distance: How Far Away Is It From Earth?
    The distance between the Earth and the Moon isn't constant because the Moon's orbit is elliptical.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Average distance: About 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers)

    * Closest point (perigee): About 225,623 miles (363,104 kilometers)

    * Farthest point (apogee): About 252,088 miles (405,696 kilometers)

    So, the answer really depends on where the Moon is in its orbit at any given time!
