According to experts, the Earth's orbit around the Sun and the orbit of the Moon around the Earth are elliptical, so the distance between celestial bodies is not fixed.

Basically, the distance from the Sun to Earth is about 400 times that of the Earth and the Moon and the Sun's diameter is also larger than the Moon's diameter with the same ratio.
