Abstract
In the experimental tests of gravity, there have been considerable interests in the possibility of intermediate-range gravity. In this paper, we use the earth-satellite measurement of earth gravity, the lunar orbiter measurement of lunar gravity, and lunar laser ranging measurement to constrain the intermediate-range gravity from lambda=1.2*10^{7}m - 3.8*10^{8}m. The limits for this range are alpha=10^{-8}-5*10^{-8}, which improve previous limits by about one order of magnitude in the range lambda=1.2*10^{7}m-3.8*10^{8}m.
