Elliptical Orbit. The Moon's orbit around Earth is elliptical, with one side closer to Earth than the other. As a result, the distance between the Moon and Earth varies throughout the month and the year. On average, the distance is about 382,900 kilometers (238,000 miles) from the Moon's center to the center of Earth.
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.
