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.
Often when we see drawings of the Earth and the moon, they look really close together. Donât be fooled! Theyâre actually really far apart. The moon is an average of 238,855 miles (384,400 km) away.
