What is the average distance from the Earth to the moon?
The answer is 238,900 miles.
However, the accurate distance is still unclear and depends on the course of the orbit of the moon, from 225,622 mi at the perigee and 252,088 mi at apogee, making a differential range of 26,465 mi.
P.S. Did you know that dark side of the moon doesn't exist?

Jim Blanton, The moon is tidal locked to the earth - one side always faces the earth. This makes it have a near side and a far side, but not a dark side.

The vast majority of the world use kilometres. If you must use miles at least also give the metric equivalent as well.

In fact, since the Moon is constantly rotating on its own axis, there is no area of the planetoid which is in permanent darkness, and the far side of the Moon is only completely devoid of sunlight during a Full Moon – when the Sun is facing the Moon with the Earth in between.

You're expecting to make it a round trip?
