How Far Away Is the Moon? - NASA Space Place
When the Moon is the farthest away, it’s 252,088 miles away That’s almost 32 Earths When it's closest, the Moon is 225,623 miles away That’s between 28 and 29 Earths So far apart! The Moon definitely seems close because we can see it so well without a telescope, but remember, it’s farther away than most people realize!
All About the Moon | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
All About the Moon Quick Facts: Earth has just one moon – a rocky, cratered place, roughly a quarter the size of Earth and an average of 238,855 miles away The Moon can be seen with the naked eye most nights as it traces its 27-day orbit around our planet
What Are the Moon’s Phases? - NASA Space Place
The other side of the Moon is dark The position of the Moon and the Sun during Each of the Moon’s phases and the Moon as it appears from Earth during each phase Credit: NASA JPL-Caltech On Earth, our view of the illuminated part of the Moon changes each night, depending on where the Moon is in its orbit, or path, around Earth
All About the Sun | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
Just how close is the Sun to Earth? Way, way closer than other stars, but still pretty far away It’s approximately 93 million miles away from Earth That’s 400 times farther than the distance between Earth and the Moon! However, it’s a good thing that Earth isn’t too close to the Sun If we were too close, it would be way too hot to
How Is the Sun Completely Blocked in an Eclipse?
The Moon's orbit isn't perfectly round That means that sometimes the Moon is slightly farther away from Earth than it is at other times Sometimes the Moon is far enough away that it doesn't create a total solar eclipse In this case, the Moon obscures most of the Sun, but a thin ring of the Sun remains visible around the Moon
What Causes the Seasons? - NASA Space Place
Earth's lopsided orbit Earth's perihelion (point closest to Sun) = 91,400,000 miles from Sun Earth's aphelion (point farthest from Sun) = 94,500,000 miles from Sun While that is a difference of over 3 million miles, relative to the entire distance, it isn’t much

All About Pluto | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
All About Pluto In 2015, three billion miles away, Pluto sent a “love note” back to Earth, via NASA's New Horizons spacecraft Credit: NASA JHUAPL SWRI First thing’s first… Is Pluto a planet? In 2006, Pluto was reclassified from a planet… to a dwarf planet
What Is an Orbit? | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
An orbit is a regular, repeating path that one object in space takes around another one An object in an orbit is called a satellite A satellite can be natural, like Earth or the Moon Since the Earth orbits the Sun, you’re actually in orbit right now! Many planets, like Earth, have moons that orbit them A satellite can also be man-made, like the International Space Station Planets
