How many exact miles is it from The Moon to the Sun?

Question

please answer this

Answer 1

The Moon is 384403 kilometers (238857 miles) distant from the Earth.

Answer 2

bandl84 is right except that the Earth - Moon distance is about 1/400 of the Earth - Sun distance, not 1/4000.

Since you asked for exact numbers, the Moon can be as much as 252,215 and as little as 225,737 miles from Earth, and Earth can be as much as 94,556,951 and as little as 91,448,755 miles from Sun. So if the Earth is at minimum distance from the Sun while the Moon is at maximum distance from Earth in the direction of the Sun, the Moon would be 91,196,540 miles from the Sun. If the Earth was at maximum distance from the Sun at the same time the Moon was at maximum distance from Earth in the opposite direction from the Sun, the Moon would be 94,809,166 miles from the Sun.

To know the exact distance at any given moment would require complex calculations that I am not able to do. However, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory has an on line calculator that will tell you the distance in millions of kilometers. See the source. Today it is 146.804 million kilometers.

Answer 3

The earth constantly revolves around the sun, and the moon constantly revolves around the earth. The moons distance from the sun, while it could be determined at any given time, is never constant.

Earth's distance from the sun is ~93,000,000 miles.
Moon's distance from earth is ~234,000 miles.

Since moon to earth distance is about 1/4000 that of the earth to the sun, it can be neglected with little loss of accuracy. The distance moon to sun then becomes about 93,000,000 miles, a good approximation.

Answer 4

There is no exact amount, because it's always changing. The approximate distance is 93 million miles.

Answer 5

It changes every second. An apporoximation is 93,000,000 miles plus or minus a quarter million.
