The distance from Earth to the Moon

Thursday, January 17, 2019


If you traveled at the speed of light, it would take you about 1.3 seconds to get from Earth to the Moon (for scale, the light travels from the Sun to Earth in about 8 minutes). Planetary expert James O'Donoghue animates the distance using NASA imagery.
This is the distance between the Earth and Moon with the correct sizes and scales. The real-time speed of light is also shown.
