Today, my group completed the Earth-Moon Lab in class. The objective was to figure out the distance from the earth to the moon without using any type of measurement stick. To find the distance we divided the distance from the earth to the moon by the diameter. The distance from the earth to the moon is about 238,900 miles and the diameter of the Earth is about 7918. We than divided it and came up with the answer 30. Therefore, the distance between Earth and moon is 30 times the diameter of the Earth. Lastly, we got the paper Earth and moon and placed them on the wall. And moved the Earth 30 times away from the Moon as shown in the picture above.
238,900 miles from earth to moon
7,918 miles earth's diameter
Looks great!
