Solution

  1. Definition: The Sun heats our globe and, in conjunction with the Moon, causes the tides. The Moon orbits the Earth, which in turn orbits the Sun.
  2. The Moon is around 150millionkilometers from either the Sun on an ordinary. Because the Moon orbits the Earth, it follows the Earth in its orbit around the Sun.
  3. The Earth truly orbits the Sun in an elliptical orbit. It spans a distance of 147millionkilometers to 152millionkilometers. So the Moon may go this distance as well.

Therefore, the distance between the moon and the sun is 146,692,378km.
