whats the distance between earth and moon???
If you’re measuring the center-to-center distance from the Earth to the Moon, the distance would be about 384,403 kilometers/238,857 miles. “The average distance between Earth and Moon is approximately 30 times Earth’s diameter. If you could fly to the Moon at a constant speed of 1000 kilometers per hour, which is the speed of a fast passenger jet, it would take sixteen days to get there. Apollo astronauts reached the Moon in less than four days even though they coasted “uphill” almost the entire distance. They got a fast start.” Earth and Moon to Scale 1 pixel = 600 kilometers Below: Earth and Moon to the scale of 1 pixel = 50 km. The Moon’s surface area is a bit greater than Africa’s. Whew! That’s a lot of interesting info. I’ve always found this to be one of the most fascinating subjects to study. Isn’t our universe amazing!? Sources: http://www.freemars.org/jeff/planets/Luna/Luna.
