Background Information
This activity demonstrates the relative sizes of the Earth and
Moon and the distance between them. The Moon is our
nearest neighbour. It orbits the Earth following an elliptical
path and therefore the distance between the Moon and the
Earth varies from about 350 000 km to 400 000 km. On
average the Moon is 385 000 km away. This seems like a
large distance; however, the Moon is close compared to the
planets in our Solar System.
The diameter of the Moon is about 3500 km which means
that the face of the Moon is roughly the same width as
Australia. The Earth has a diameter of approximately 12 800
km. The Moon is a little less than a quarter the diameter and
is approximately one-fiftieth the volume of the Earth.
