Talk:Lunar distance

message: I removed a See also link: Nevil Maskelyne.  He worked on Lunar distance (navigation) which is an angle, not the distance to the Moon.  Bubba73 (talk), 04:32, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I saw a tv show where it said that the Moon was during the dinosaur era much closer to Earth, making the days shorter. I can´t find nothing of this. I don's peak english very well.--Comu_nacho (spanish speaker) (talk) 18:48, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  What is the point of this article? 

message: Does "the distance from the Earth to the moon" mean the distance between their centres?
The article states that the Moon is spiraling away from the Earth at an average rate of 3.8 cm per year. With this level of achievable accuracy, why is the Lunar Distance specified to the nearest kilometer and not, say, to the nearest meter?
: (1) Yes, between the centers.  (2) I'm not sure.  It may be that it is easier to measure the rate at which it is receeding than measuring the absolute distance that accurately.  Bubba73 (talk), 01:28, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Because of the eccentricity of the Moon's orbit around the Earth, the distance is varying all the time. A quick calculation suggests that the distance varies at an average of about 35 m/s (slower near perigee and apogee, faster in between). On top of that, the distance to the Moon at perigee and apogee varies considerably, so quoting the distance more accurately would be spurious. treesmill (talk) 20:17, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

message: It is stated by the lunar laser ranging experiment that the mean lunar distance can be measured to sub-millimeter precision. Can anybody find a reference to a sub-mm 384402XXX.XXXX +/- 0.000Y (+3.8cm/yr) value? Hadron137 (talk) 19:21, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

message: A number of vehicles have been sent to the moon, with some orbiting as satellites today. The most dramatic lunar orbits have been the manned missions between 1968 and 1972. All communications experience(d) predictable radio delays which align(ed) with established distances. The delay is not extraordinary but the communication distance is still notable, and the manned missions are so far the only times that people have measured the moon distance when holding both ends of the metaphorical tape measure. I was expecting that there would be a mention here about radio / light distance and timing; when I find this elsewhere I might add this sub-section. --GeeBee60 (talk) 12:48, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
