Detailed explanation-1: -The average distance to the moon is 382, 500 kilometers. The distance varies because the moon travels around Earth in an elliptical orbit. At perigee, the point at which the moon is closest to Earth, the distance is approximately 360, 000 kilometers.
Detailed explanation-2: -The distance between the Earth and the Moon is approximately 384, 000, 000m. The standard form of the distance between the earth and the moon is approximately 12, 000, 000, 000 mts.
Detailed explanation-3: -A lunar distance, 384, 399 km (238, 854 mi), is the Moon’s average distance to Earth. The actual distance varies over the course of its orbit. The image compares the Moon’s apparent size when it is nearest and farthest from Earth. The semi-major axis has a value of 384, 399 km (238, 854 mi).
