While playing KSP, I wanted to know how far is the Mün from kerbin...

...Do any of you know?

12,000,000 meters.

And if you don't know, click on it in the tracking station.

Oh, Ok.

Or any other factual info you want to know about KSP, try the wiki:

Well, thats from the center of kerbin, from the surface of Kerbin, to the surface of Mun is going to be 600+200km less than that. So surface to surface, its 11,200,000 meters

Might want to check the spelling on the @-ping, there-- you got a different person.

My game says 11,400,000m. I read something about it being changed. Also, the wiki is great but not always kept up to date.

I do believe the difference is that Kerbin's radius is 600km.
 

If I'm not mistaken, wiki is stating Kerbin's CoM to Mun's CoM, whereas the game is showing Kerbin's sea level to Mun's CoM.

Well that's not confusing. Thanks.

Would it be confusing if your altitude at the launch pad was 600,068? Sadly you can't have both.

Well, you can if it changes at some point, but then you have to decide what point to change it. And then it'll be confusing at that point.

Physically they are about 12Mm from each other. Emotionally they are worlds apart.
