Answers
The distance varies because the moon travels around Earth in an elliptical orbit. At perigee, the point at which the moon is closest to Earth, the distance is approximately 360,000 kilometers. At apogee, the point at which the moon is farthest from Earth, the distance is approximately 405,000 kilometers.
Answer:
Distance to the Moon
Before Apollo 11 astronauts Neil A. Armstrong and Edwin E. “Buzz” Aldrin, Jr. stepped on the
moon on July 20, 1969, people had studied the moon by eye, telescope and images from
spacecraft. As long as people have looked at the moon, they have wondered how far away it is
from Earth. The average distance to the moon is 382,500 kilometers. The distance varies
because the moon travels around Earth in an elliptical orbit. At perigee, the point at which the
moon is closest to Earth, the distance is approximately 360,000 kilometers. At apogee, the point
at which the moon is farthest from Earth, the distance is approximately 405,000 kilometers.
