The Moon is actually 30 feet away from Earth when Earth is shrunk to a school room globe size, while Mars is a mile away; textbooks mislead us by fitting the Moon on the same page as Earth, making it appear much closer than it actually is.

The Moon Is WAY Farther Than You Think π€―πAdded:
Take Earth, shrink it to a school room globe, and ask, "How far away is Mars [music] on that scale?" It's a mile away. How far away is the moon? 30 ft away. Most people [music] get that distance wrong because in textbooks, they have to fit the moon on the same page as the Earth. So, you think moon is much closer than it actually is. We've been lied to over all those years. If you drew Earth as a natural 3-in size circle on a textbook page, moon would have to be several pages [music] back from that.
