Animation of the Moon's orbit around Earth. The concentric rings mark out 50, 000-mile increments from Earth. The Moon's orbit is elliptical rather than circular, and its distance from Earth varies from around 225, 350 miles at its closest (perigee, open circle at bottom) to some 251, 960 miles at its furthest (apogee, closed circle at top). The Moon takes just less than 28 days to complete one orbit. | |
