depends on its speed. apollo 13 took bout 4 days to reach the moon and 3 days to return back. y? u plannin to go?

The moon's distance from earth is about 240,000 miles.  The orbit is roughly circular (only 5% eccentricity), so 2π*240,000 = 1.5 million miles is the circumference.  The moon travels this distance in 29.5 days, so its speed is about 51,000 miles per day or about 2100 miles per hour.

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

Big rocket on moon: Lots of reaction mass available, low escape velocity, no atmosphere to block the exhaust, and no greenies to complain about the noise and pollution. The moon is gravitationally bound to the earth, so if the moon is moved slowly and carefully enough, the earth will follow. Of course, we'll want to clean up the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars first. Great plan for solar main sequence survival.\n\nIn response to "addtional detail". For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. That means the gravitational force on the moon due to earth's gravity is exactly the same as the force on the earth due to the moon, but in the opposite direction. Now, since the earth is more massive, that means its acceleration is proportionatly smaller. Since the moon's orbit is circular (at present), that means the acceleration is centripetal and the earth's center orbits in circle of small radius. \n\nThe extreme limit of how hard you can pull on the earth with a rocket on the moon would be if you brought the moon to a stop relative to the earth. The moon will then start falling toward the earth, and the earth toward the moon (though more slowly). However, if you oppose the gravitational force on the moon with rocket thrust of equal an opposite magnitude, plus a bit more to match the acceleration of the earth in both sign and direction, the earth-moon distance with stay the same, and the pair will accelerate together. Note that the rocket exhaust is now pointed towards the earth; this can be avoided by vectoring it off to the side slightly. This added acceleration can be used to accelerate earth in the direction of its motion around the sun. This would cause the earth's orbit to slowly spiral outward. As I said, this is the extreme limit of how hard you can pull (unless you bring the moon closer). In practicle, one need only perturb the moon's orbit to get an effect; it'll just take longer.\n\nYes, one would need a phenomenal energy source to accelerate lunar material for rocket exhaust. Thermonuclear fusion would be the best bet for this. That only requires extacting the naturally occuring deuterium from water. I haven't done the math, but all the earth's ocean's might suffice; deuterium is less than 1% of the hydrogen in water, so we'd hardly miss it. There's lots of water in the outer solar system too, if needed.

With or without stopping to ask for directions?\n\nIf the moon is (on average) 185,000 miles away and you drive 70 miles an hour, you'll get there in about 2600 hours, or somewhere around 110 days.\n\nRemember the moon is also moving, so you'll have to aim for the point in space where the moon will be when you get there ... and you'd better be going faster than 70 mph when you get there because the Moon won't wait up -- it's revolving around the Earth much faster than that.

The average distance from the Moon to the Earth is 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles); it is slowly moving away at about the same rate as your fingernails grow (about 4 cm a year).

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.

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.

NASA is scheduled to launch New Horizons, a plutonium-powered probe that will go up to 47,000 miles per hour during a 10-year journey to capture the first up-close images of Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. The probe will go so fast, it will get to the moon in just nine hours, a journey that took Apollo 11 three days to make in 1969

On average, the distance is 384401 kilometres (238857 mi). There are of course variations in this distance due to the imperfect nature of the moon's orbit.

It depends on what you are sending.  The Apollo missions were the last set of *manned* missions to the moon, and here is the travel time:\nLaunched: 16 July 1969 UT 13:32:00 (09:32:00 a.m. EDT)<br />\nLanded on Moon: 20 July 1969 UT 20:17:40 (04:17:40 p.m. EDT)\nIt took about 4 days to get there.  Rocket technology has not change too much since then so you can expect that getting people to the moon at this point would take about the same amount of time.\nIf you are dealing with a non-human payload, you may be able to cut down time, both because it is likely lighter, and because you don't need to worry as much about damaging G-forces.\nI've included a link that has the history of all missions to the moon, manned and unmanned.

um depends how fast you're going. If you're going the speed of light it would only take 8 minutes. \nIf you were flying in the spaceshuttle, which goes Mach 25 or about 17,500MPH it would still take 221 days to get to the sun. So not even a year.

Of course the Moon is closer than the Sun.\n\nThe average distance from the earth to the sun, the semimajor axis of its orbit, is 149,597,890 km.\n\nMoon's orbit is elliptical: its average orbital radius is 384401 km, apogee (farthest distance from the Earth) is 406700 km, and perigee (distance of closest approach to the Earth) is 356400 km.

The space shuttle is not desined to go to the moon, the apollo misions took about 3-4 days that was almost 37 years ago now takes half or less the time
