1 : the angle or direction in which a person looks at an object. 2 : point of view. 3 : the ability to understand what is important and what isn't I know you're disappointed, but keep your perspective. 4 : an accurate rating of what is important and what isn't Let's keep things in perspective.
The average distance to the Moon is 382,500 km. 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 km. At. apogee, the point at which the Moon is farthest from Earth, the distance is approxi-. mately 405,000 km. Distance from Earth to the Moon for a given date can be obtained by asking a local.
Humans have a hard time understanding the scale that is space so let's go over just how far away the closest object to Earth really is. The moon is on average approximately 235,000 miles (380,000 km) from Earth. Let's put that into perspective. Earth's Circumference at the Equator is 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 km) so that means you would have to fly around the world almost 10 times to travel the same distance as the moon! Here we've got a video of going out on the streets to ask the public how far they think the moon is and see how close the average person is.
