The Distance between the Earth and the Moon

 

The average distance between Earth and Moon is approximately 30 times Earth's diameter.  The distance between Earth and Moon is 384,399 km, or 238,854 miles.

Keep in mind that this number is an average. The Moon actually follows an elliptical path around the Earth. When it’s at its closest point, the distance between Earth and Moon is only 363,104 km. And then when it’s out at its most distant point, the distance is 405,696 km.

If you walk continuously from the Earth to the Moon, it will take you about 10 years to reach the Moon.

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.
