distance between earth and moon +distance between sun and earth

Answer 2

$\huge\fbox \red{A}\fbox \green{N}\fbox \purple{S}\fbox \orange{W}\fbox \red{E}\fbox \blue{R}$

Explanation:

A) Calculate the Thickness:

• Divide the total measurement of the stack/ream of paper by the number of sheets. For example: 2 inches/100 pages = 0.01-inches sheets.

• In case you measured the stack, and it gave you less than an inch, then you need to do the same. For example: 0.5-inches/100 sheets = 0.005-inches per sheet.

B) The distance between the sun and the moon.

There are two ways to measure the distance from the Earth to the Moon on your own: using a Lunar eclipse and using parallax. Let's look at eclipses first.
