Answer 2

The average distance of the moon from the earth is approximately 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers). The moon's orbit around the earth is elliptical, so the distance between them varies over time. At its closest approach, the moon is about 225,623 miles (363,104 kilometers) from the earth, and at its farthest, it is about 252,088 miles (405,696 kilometers).
