A laser is aimed at the moon. The spot of light is seen on the lunar surface 2.37 s later. What is the distance from Earth to the mooon

Seen where, by the guy on the moon or the one back on earth?

If the observer is on earth the light makes a round trip.
2 d = 3*10^8 m/s * 2.37 s
d = 3.56*10^8 meters which is about right

d = V*t = 3*10^8m/s * 2.37s/2 =

To determine the distance from Earth to the moon, we can use the speed of light as a constant. The speed of light is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (km/s).

Given that the spot of light is seen on the lunar surface 2.37 seconds later, we can use the equation:

Distance = Speed x Time

Distance = 299,792 km/s x 2.37 s

Distance = 710,552 km

Therefore, the distance from Earth to the moon is approximately 710,552 kilometers.

To calculate the distance from Earth to the moon, we can use the speed of light and the time it takes for the light to travel from Earth to the moon.

The speed of light is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second.

Given that the light takes 2.37 seconds to reach the moon, we can use the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance = 299,792,458 m/s × 2.37 s

Calculating this, we find that the distance from Earth to the moon is approximately:

Distance ≈ 710,95,727.4 meters

Therefore, the approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 710,957,274 meters or about 711,000 kilometers.
