Quick Answer. The distance from the earth to the moon is 1.25 light seconds, which is roughly 238,900 miles. Light years are reserved for dealing with massive distances in outer space. One light year is the distance that light can travel in one year.
1 Answer. The Moon, located an average distance of 380,000 km away, orbits the Earth at an average speed of about 3,680 km/hr and completes its orbit in about 27.25 days. The orbit is tilted about five degrees to the ecliptic plane. The 27.25 days is the length of the sidereal month, just over 2 days shorter than the lunar month of 29.5 days.
