The average distance from Earth to the moon is 238,857 mIles. The distance from the earth to the sun is 92,900,000 miles. How much closer is the moon?
It depends on what position the moon is at, but during a solar eclipse it is:
238,857 mi closer
238857/92900000 = .0025711 as far as the Sun
I SUPPOSE some would do it this way 92900000/238857=388.935
the Sun is 388.935 times FARTHER thatn the Moon......does that mean the Moon is 388.935 times CLOSER ???? LOL
