Feynman Diagrams: Does Distance Affect Electromagnetic Interaction?

[big_bounce]

Hello all .
In feynman diagram horizontal direction is space . is that mean distance between particles ?
is that means two electron must be near a certain distance to create a virtual photon ?

Does one electron in Earth send electromagnetism force to one electron on moon by virtual photon ?
Does one electron in Earth has interaction with one electron on moon by electromagnetism force ?

Does virtual photons create in short distance ?
Creation of virtual photon depend on distance between two particles ?

Feynman diagrams are convenient shorthand for terms in a mathematical expression. They are not meant to be an underlying "billiard ball" mechanics of particle behavior.

virtual photons are calculational tools,that is why they are called virtual.
