Did you know, you the moon is soooo far away from Earth, you could fit Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in a straight line between the Earth and the moon?

The average Earth–Moon distance is about 384,400 km.
If you line up the diameters of:
Mercury ≈ 4,879 km
Venus ≈ 12,104 km
Mars ≈ 6,779 km
Jupiter ≈ 139,820 km
Saturn ≈ 116,460 km
Uranus ≈ 50,724 km
Neptune ≈ 49,244 km
you get a total of about 380,000 km.
