The average distance from the Moon to the Earth is 384,403 kilometres (238,857 miles).

The average distance from the Moon to the Earth is 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles), and its orbit is elliptical.

238,855 miles give or take a couple miles (seriously, it varies)\n\nI used Frink to look it up.  Frink is an incredibly handy calculation tool on the web.\n\n\nWikipedia says the moon is an average distance of 238,857 miles from the earth. I just checked with it to verify the accuracy of Frink, which looks pretty good.\n\nNeither the moon nor the Earth are perfectly round.  In fact, the Earth is kind of pear-shaped and has some rather high mountain ranges on its surface.\n\nAfter you are done doing serious analysis of the moon you should play around with Frink; it is pretty amazing and has built-in constants defined in it for all kinds of measurements having to do with the earth and moon. It also makes it very easy to convert values to different units of measurement.

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.

Yes, the moon is moving away at a rate of 3.8 centimetres per year. This was discovered by lunar laser ranging. Don't worry though, it's practically nothing.

Even though the moon is 238,000 miles away in a straight line; it will take several days to reach the moon in a rocket using todays technology. This is because a rocket does not fly in a straight line between earth and the moon - such a trajectroy would require a phenomenal amount of speed and fuel. Rockets fly into orbit, circle the earth several times, and gradually alter their orbit to an orbit which intersects with the moon blah blah blah...\n\nThe international space station is about 220 miles above the earth, and it takes two days to reach it on a space rocket. The rocket has to fly many times around the earth and gradually intercept the ISS.

The Moon has a surface area of 152 million square kilometers.\nThe Earth is 13.5 times larger.

thats a deep question today.\n\nTicker tape to the moon is a clue ;) to a  wide part of it

The moon is 238,900 miles from the earth.

Yes - the moon is far away, and the earth spins around it's own axis, creating day and night time. The moon would move a little 1/56 of phase shift during the half day it would take for the other half of earth to see the moon, but it's not noticeable.

The moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.8 cm per year.  At this rate, it is calculated that the moon will be far enough away from the Earth not to cover the sun in slightly less than 600 million years.

i would generally say no its not, as the atmosphere is only between 5 adn 10 miles high, the moon is considerably further away than this.\n\ncant explainy why its like this has something to do with the creation of the solar system the mood being far away and such.
