What is between our planet and the moon? Space without air? Is it just black emptiness?.
Thank you.
Thank you.
The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers) or roughly 30 Earth diameters.
The material between the Earth and the Moon is primarily empty space, with some dust and debris from asteroids and comets. There is also the Earth's atmosphere, which extends about 600 km above the surface, and the Moon's exosphere, which extends about 100 km above the surface.
It is very difficult for anything to survive in the space between the Earth and the Moon due to the lack of air, extreme temperatures, and high levels of radiation. However, there are some microorganisms that can survive in extreme conditions and may potentially exist in this space.
Yes, there is gravity between the Earth and the Moon. The Earth's gravity keeps the Moon in orbit around it, and the Moon's gravity causes the Earth's tides. However, the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon is much weaker than the Earth's gravitational force on the surface, making it difficult to notice.
The time it takes to travel from the Earth to the Moon varies depending on the mode of transportation. The Apollo 11 spacecraft took about 3 days to reach the Moon, while a commercial airliner would take over 130 days. The fastest time recorded for a human to reach the Moon is about 3 days and 3 hours, achieved by the Apollo 10 mission in 1969.
