The resulting number will tell you how many miles away you are from where lightning just struck. Five seconds, for example, indicates the lightning struck 1 mile away, and a 10-second gap means the lightning was 2 miles away.
That the moon, on average, is 238,855 miles away â¦ this isnât too hard to fathom. But when we start inching our way out into the solar system, it starts to get a bit profound. Take Pluto. NASAâs New Horizons spacecraft is set to swoop by Pluto this month, which is (on average) 39 Astronomical Units (AU) away. An AU is the distance by which astronomers measure distances; itâs based on the distance between the Earth and our big star, about 93 million miles. Which puts Pluto at a distance of 3.7 billion miles away. Honestly, even a billion is hard to get oneâs mind around.
