Explanation

The average distance from the Earth's center to the Moon's center is approximately 384,400 km. The given value 384,402 km represents this average distance reasonably well. The Moon's orbit is elliptical, so actual distance varies between about 363,300 km (perigee) and 405,500 km (apogee), but the average is around 384,400 km.
