The moon travels at about 2,288 miles per hour as it orbits the earth. The interesting part about this is that the speed of the moon is an estimate. This is because the moon travels at different speeds depending on where it is in its orbit. When it is further away from the earth, the moon travels more slowly than it does when it is closer to the earth. The closer that the moon is to the earth, the faster it travels. This means that it is travelling at its fastest when it is closest to the earth. The orbit of the moon is more elliptical than it is circular.
