The average distance from the center of the Earth to the center of the Moon is approximately 238,900 miles (384,400 kilometers). This distance can vary due to the elliptical shape of the Moon's orbit around the Earth, resulting in the closest point (perigee) being around 225,623 miles (363,104 kilometers) and the farthest point (apogee) being around 252,088 miles (405,696 kilometers). The average value of 238,900 miles (384,400 kilometers) is often used as a reference point.
