Earth <--------> Plant

[kinggalaxia]

I can imagine that the PLANTs are within the Earth Sphere, just like the colonies were in the original MSG. That distance is about the length of behind the moon to allll the way to near Mar's Asteroid Belt.

Hope this helped.

archangel was at heliopolus(or whatever it's called) not PLANT, so it may have been in a further orbit than PLANT is.

I am quoting from the glossary that came with the official DVD.

'Roughly a hundred of these constructs are gathered at Lagrange point 5, a gravitationally stable area in Earth orbit, and together they make up the Coordinators' homeland.'

Edit: I realize this doesn't answer your question about how far away they are...

Voila!

I believe there are also lagrange points for the earth and the moon, instead of the sun and earth, but i'm not sure...

Edit: I just checked my Char's counter-attack dvd booklet and there are. They are in the same positions too, so in the pics in the links just replace the sun with the earth and the earth with the moon. I'm going to try and find some gundam maps...

found one...


Since L5 has the same distance from the earth as the moon the average distance from PLANT to Earth would be 384401 km

Whoa, that's cool to know, thanks.
