Is the moon the closest object in space to earth?   The moon is the closest natural object to earth that is in space. But there are some other considerations. There are lots of bits of space debris (pieces of rock) thatâ¦ fall on earth all the time, and some swing by and don't actually fall out of orbit but are just deflected.
The Earth's Moon is the fifth largest in the whole solar system, and is bigger than the planet Pluto. The Moon has a nearly circular orbit (e=0.05) which is tilted about 5 to the plane of the Earth's orbit. Its average distance from the Earth is 384,400 km. The combination of the Moon's size and its distance from the Earth causes the Moon to appear the same size in the sky as the Sun, which is one reason we can have total solar eclipses.
