What is the distance from the earth to the moon in km?
407,000 kmThe distance between the Moon and the Earth varies from around 356,400 km to 406,700 km at the extreme perigees (closest) and apogees (farthest).
What would be a reasonable unit to use to measure the distance from earth to the moon?
Feet
What if your weight is less on the moon than it is on the Earth why so?
Weight is the gravitational force exerted on an object. Your mass is the same on earth and the moon or anywhere else. Your weight depends on the gravitational force exerted on your mass and hence on your location.
What does the spin rate of the moon have in common with its orbital rate about the earth?
The moon spins quite slowly, about once each 27 days, this monthly rate of spin matches the rate at which the moon revolves about the Eath.
How long will it take for the moon to drift out of our orbit?
The Moon will drift farther and farther from Earth, while Earth slows down, until Earth always shows the Moon the same face (just as the Moon already shows Earth the same face all the time). It doesn't seem that the Moon will completely escape from Earth's gravity.
How many times will the moon roll before hitting the earth?
It doesn't look like the Moon will hit Earth any time soon. In fact, it is gradually getting farther and farther away from Earth.
What is farther than the earth the moon or the sun?
Definitely the SUN. If the sun were where the moon is in relation to the earth, the earth would be consumed by the sun.
How much farther is the sun from earth than the moon from earth?
Find the distance from the earth to the moon, then the the distance from the earth to the sun, and simply subtract the both.
Why does mars appear smaller than the moon when seen from earth?
Mars is tremendously farther away from the Earth than the moon is.
Is the moon moving closer to the Earth or farther away?
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.
Is the moon or neptune farther from earth?
The moon is about 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles) from Earth, and about 4,564 million kilometers (2,835 million miles) from Neptune. So, the moon is much closer to the Earth, Neptune over 10,000 times farther away.
Which one is nearer moon or sun?
The sun is about 390 times farther from earth than the moon is.
How much farther is it from earth to your moon?
Not much further than it is from yours.
How many times farther does Earth travel than the moon in one revolution?
The Earth travels 365.25 times farther than the moon in one revolution. The moon's revolution around the Earth takes only one day; the Earth's revolution around the Sun takes 365.25 days.
Is one star is between the earth and the moon?
No. The moon is the closest astronomical object to Earth. The closest star to Earth is the sun, which is about 400 times farther away than the moon. The next nearest star is more than 260,000 times farther away than the sun.
What is biggest the sun the moon or the earth?
The sun is the largest in size compared to the moon and Earth. It has a diameter about 109 times that of Earth and is about 400 times farther away from Earth than the moon is.
