Diameter of the Moon = 2,160 Miles
Distance from the Moon to Earth = 221,331 Miles at its closest, to 252,586 miles at its furthest.
Increase of Distance Away from Earth = 1.5 Inches per year.
A fact few people are aware of is that the Moon is actually very slowly getting farther and farther away from the Earth.
One Orbit around the Earth takes = 27.32 Days
One full rotation of the Moon takes = 27.32 Days
Other Notes = The Moon we see is always the same face of the moon, every night. From Earth, we will never see the other side of the moon.
WHY?WE CANT SEE THE OTHER FACE OF THE MOON????
