Quick Scoop: How many miles to the Moon?

  • Average distance: about 238,855 miles.
  • Closest point (perigee): roughly 225,600 miles.
  • Farthest point (apogee): roughly 252,100 miles.
  • In “Earths”: the Moon is about 30 Earth diameters away on average.

Because the Moon’s orbit is slightly elliptical, the exact number of miles to the Moon is always changing as it moves between perigee (closer) and apogee (farther).
