how far is the moon? (how many miles)?

Question

Can anyone tell me? Thanks!

Answer 1

238,857 miles

Answer 2

On average, 250,000 miles. It varies a bit, because the Moon's orbit is elliptical.

There's a cool demonstration you can do with a piece of string and a globe. Wrap the string once around the globe at the equator. That distance is about 25,000 miles. If you hold the string away from the globe, that's about the distance to a geostationary satellite, like a weather or communications satellite. (The geostationary altitude is 22,300 miles.)

Then wrap the string ten times around the globe. That's 250,000 miles, and the distance to the Moon.
