40,000 kilometers (25,000 miles). â¢ The distance to the moon is 10 times the circumference of Earth, or approximately 400,000. kilometers (250,000 miles). By wrapping a string around the basketball ten times (or wrapping it around the ball once and using that.
Hence, the number 384,403 km, is an average distance that astronomers call the semi-major axis. At its closest point (known as perigee) the Moon is only 363,104 km (225,622 miles) away. And at its most distant point (called apogee) the Moon gets to a distance of 406,696 km (252,088 miles). This means that distance from the Earth to the Moon can vary by 43,592 km. Thatâs a pretty big difference, and it can make the Moon appear dramatically different in size depending on where it is in its orbit.
