Lunar distance (LD), also called Earth–Moon distance, Earth–Moon characteristic distance, or distance to the Moon, is as a unit of measure in astronomy. It is the average distance from the center of Earth to the center of the Moon.

A league is a unit of length (or, in various regions, area). It was common in Europe and Latin America, but is no longer an official unit in any nation. The word originally meant the distance a person could walk in an hour. Since the Middle Ages, many values have been specified in several countries.
