how many inches to the moon?
461764
The moon's distance from the Earth is on average, 384400 km. Converted to inches that comes out to 15,133,858,267.65 inches (a little over 15 billion)\nHowever, due to an eliptical orbit, the moons distance varies from 363,258 km at its nearest point to 405,542 km at its farthest point. Converted that comes out to 14,301,496,062.93 inches at its nearest point to 15,966,220,472.37 inches at its farthest.\nSo, yes, the moon is about 15 billion inches away.  However, at any given time, it can vary anywhere from 14 billion to almost 16 billion inches from the Earth\nBest Wishes

Pluto is 4,583,000,000 miles from the sun at maximum; 2,757,000,000 at minimum.  Since Neptune goes out as far as 2,824,000,000 it is occasionally closer in than Neptune!

How far is it from Earth to the moon?\nIt is about 250,000 miles from Earth to the moon.

The moon’s sidereal period of revolution is about 27.32 days long. This means that a line drawn through the center of the earth and the moon would point to the same star every 27.32 days.

The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It has no formal name other than "The Moon", although in English it is occasionally called Luna (Latin for moon), or Selene (Greek for moon), to distinguish it from the generic "moon" (natural satellites of other planets are also called moons). Its symbol is a crescent. The terms lunar, selene/seleno-, and -cynthion (from the Lunar deities Selene and Cynthia) refer to the Moon (aposelene, selenocentric, pericynthion, etc.).\n\nThe average distance from the Moon to the Earth is 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles). The Moon's diameter is 3,476 kilometres (2,160 mi). Reflected sunlight from the Moon's surface reaches Earth in 1.3 seconds (at the speed of light).\n\nThe first man-made object to land on the Moon was Luna 2 in 1959, the first photographs of the otherwise occluded far side of the Moon were made by Luna 3 in the same year, and the first people to land on the Moon came aboard Apollo 11 in 1969.

The Moon's mass is less but you're closer to the centre.   Gravity goes up as the square of your distance from the centre.

Circumference is 25,000 miles.  the diameter is about 7,950 miles, just under 8,000 miles (the earth isn't quite a sphere, it is a little pudgy at the equator, so the diameter varies slightly for our "oblique spheroid" which isn't a perfect sphere).

It takes the moon roughly 28 days to orbit the Earth.  Divide that into the number of minutes in a day (1440), and there's your 50 minutes.

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.
