To get a sense... take any ball as a scale model of Earth and roll it 10 times in one direction. That would be the scale distance to the moon.
Man, that would have to be something like 31.415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679 times the earth’s diameter…
Well, approximated to some extent, yes.
Roll it how far each time? Are you saying roll 10x the distance of itself / i.e 10 complete rotations?
Yes, 10 circumferences. Earth is about 24,000 miles in circumference. Moon is more than 240,000 miles distant.
