Question : Which is the nearer to the Earth - the Moon, or L3 ?

Question : Which is the nearer to the Earth - the Moon, or L3 ?

No response here; but I also mailed exactly that question. The response
included
The Moon is cloer .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_points
http://www.physics.montana.edu/facul.../lagrange.html

Of those, Wiki currently says that L3 is closer; the montana page has a
diagram showing it further out, and a link to "detailed analysis" which
proves that L3 is further from the barycentre than the Moon is from the
Earth - that is of course not the same question.

Distances from the Earth might be measured from the surface, or from the
centre; for the present purpose, it does not matter. But they are not
measured from the barycentre.
