Explanation Given: Distance between earth and moon: 384, 400 km. Earth’s mass: 5.972 × 10 24 kg Moon’s mass: 7.349 × 10 22 kg Formula used: We are going to use the next equation: c e n t e r o f m a s s ( x ) = ∑ 1 2 x i · m i ∑ 1 2 m i Where x is the distance from the origin to mass m i . Calculation: c e n t e r o f m a s s ( x ) = 0 [ km ] · 5
