"From any location on the Earth, the Moon appears to be a circular disk which, at any specific time, is illuminated to some degree by direct sunlight. Like the Earth, the Moon is a sphere which is always half illuminated by the Sun, but as the Moon orbits the Earth we get to see more or less of the illuminated half."

How far is Perth from Ireland
Arada [10]
There are many ways to measure distance between Perth and Ireland.
First of all, you should know what kind of distance you want to measure: absolute or relative? this means wither it is in a straight line (which might not be suitable for actually doing it in terms of traveling), or relative, and you would be considering possible routes (boat, plane..).
Secondly, you must choose the point in Ireland.
You can use some online tools that help you with measuring distances. An example is:
