how meny miles away is the moon?

The moon is 238,857 miles away and would take 5 months  22 hours 38 minutes and 2 seconds to drive non-stop.

A good "rule of thumb" value to remember is a quarter million miles.  More\nprecisely, the Moon's orbit is elliptical:  its average orbital radius is\n384401 km, apogee (farthest distance from the Earth) is 406700 km, and\nperigee (distance of closest approach to the Earth) is 356400 km.

Earth's average distance from the sun is a little bit under 93 million miles. The closets the Earth gets to the sun is about 90 million miles and the farthest is about 96 million miles.

Distance From Sun is: 93,000,000 Miles

Earth ranges from 7,926 miles to 7900 miles, depending on your location.\n\nThis is approximately 12,756km

The moon's orbit is elliptical, and the distance varies quite a bit (it varies from 225,745 mi. to 251,967 mi.)\n\nNow they actually know the distance to the moon to within a few inches. Apollo 11 astronauts left an array of corner mirrors on the moon. A corner mirror is three mirrors arranged like a corner of a box, all at right angles to each other. Such a mirror reflects light directly back toward the source of the light. Scientists shine a laser at the moon, and measure the time it takes to reflect back. They can measure this time to within a tiny fraction of a second. So they deduce the distance to the moon (at any given time) to within a few inches.

The distance to the sun can be computed by a variety of techniques.  Trigonometry and parallax measurements were used by ancient greek and arab astronomers to come up with pretty good estimates for the distances to the sun, moon, and other planets.\n\nThe sun's diameter at its equator is about 865,000 miles, and the mean distance from the earth to the sun is about 93 million miles.\n\nThe moon's diameter at its equator is about 2,160 miles, and the mean distance from the earth to the moon is about 238,900 miles.\n\nThe ratio of the diameters is 865000 / 2160 or about 400.  The ratio of distances is 93,000,000 / 238,900 or about 390.  So the sun is about 400 times larger than the moon, but it's also about 400 times farther away - so the sun and moon appear about the same size in the sky.\n\nThe moon's orbit around the earth isn't a circle, and the lunar distance varies from about 220,000 miles to about 252,000 miles.  When it is close to the earth, the moon appears slightly larger than the sun.  When it is in the further part of it's orbit, the moon appears slightly smaller than the sun.  If an eclipse occurs when the moon is furthest from earth, the moon's disk can't completely cover the sun.  The result is an "annular" eclipse.\n\nIncidentally, the moon gets slightly farther away from the earth every year.  Eventually, in the distant future, it will be too far away to produce a total eclipse of the sun.

I own a very fine acre of the light side of the moon. It's kinda left a bit from the middle. I could send you a map.

The average distance from the moon to the earth is 238,857 miles. The speed of light is 186,282 miles per second. There for the time from the light from the moon to reach earth is...\n\n238,857 miles / 186,286 miles per second = 1.28223 seconds \n\n1.28223 seconds

With the average distance between the Earth and the Moon being 238,857 miles...the total distance of 600 round trips between the Earth and the Moon is approximately 286,628,400 miles.

The average Earth-Moon distance is about 385,000 km.  Remember, the average is important because the moon rotates around the Earth in an eliptical fashion, which means that there are times when the moon is closer to the Earth than others depending on the point in its rotation.
