You are correct, Alexis! Thank you for your comment and for your participation!
Awesome, you are welcome Phyllis. Thank you
On average, the Moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers) away from Earth.
That’s roughly the same as taking 30 Earths lined up side-by-side — or a little more than 9 trips around the Earth’s equator. It’s pretty far, but still close enough to light up our night sky and influence the tides! 🌕✨
Fun fact: The Moon is slowly drifting away from us at about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) per year.
Thank you for the additional information! This is quite interesting! I appreciate your participation!
