Our moons average distance from the Earth is 238,857 miles (384,399 kilometers). However the Moonâs orbit is elliptical and the distance therefore varies during its orbit though, from around 252,088 miles (405,696 kilometers) at its furthest (Apogee) to 225,622 miles (363,104 kilometers) at its closest (Perigee).
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.
