there is no exact distance to the moon. the moon is on an elliptical orbit around the earth, and along with other gravitational influences, its distance from the earth is constantly changing. that's the scientific answer.

Oh do people leave themselves open to one liners. Good thing that this is a clean site LOL. A quarter of a million miles is the rough guess used to descibe the distance. It does vary through out the month. The extra three inches? Well if a man goes potty behind a tree, that three inches varies and either adds to the distance or shortens it.

"The Earth-Moon distance is, on average, roughly 238,900 miles (384,402 km). And astronomers know this to within about 1 inch (2 cm) of accuracy. "

385,000 KM

The actual Earth-Moon distance ranges from about 360,000 to 405, 000 kilometers, depending on the position in the Moon's orbit.

Because the Moon's orbit is slightly elliptical, it varies between a minimum of 363,300 km and a maximum of 405,500 km (or between 225,858 and 252,094 miles).
