Earth and Moon to Scale. 1 pixel = 600 kilometers. The average distance between Earth and Moon is approximately 30 times Earth's diameter. moon is also much much smaller than many other planets.
Earth's moon is very large in proportion to its planet. It is just over one quarter of Earth's diameter. While several moons in the solar system are larger than our moon, they orbit much larger planets.
2½ Moon Diameter = Earth's Diameter- 1 Moon Diameter. Earth's Diameter = 7/2 Moon
The diameter of the Sun is 1.392×109 mThe distance between the Earth and the Moon is 3.844 *108 mThe Sun is therefore bigger.
The Earth is bigger than the moon. While the diameter of the Earth is 12,742 kilometers, the moon's diameter is 3,474 kilometers. The moon is 27 percent the Earth's size.

There are no "planets" between the Earth and its Moon (the closest astronomical body to our planet). Earth has no natural satellites other than the Moon, although some Sun-orbiting asteroids (notably 3753 Cruithne) have orbits that intersect the Earth's orbit and have moon-like resonances with Earth and other inner planets.There are two planets whose orbits are between the Earth and the Sun : Mercury and Venus.

The length of the Moon's diameter is about 27% of the Earth's.
That is sometimes what the Moon is called. Seen from Venus the Earth and Moon would be seen as a pair of bright planets up to 0.5 degrees apart at opposition, which is the diameter of the Moon as seen from Earth.
The Moon is one-fourth the diameter of the Earth, so that means that four Moons would fit into the diameter of the Earth. This does not mean that the Moon is one-fourth the size of the Earth; the Earth is significantly larger.
The combined diameter of Earth and earth's moon is 16,232 milometers, or 11% the diameter of Jupiter, 14% the diameter of Saturn, 32% the diameter of Uranus, and 33% the diameter of Neptune.
The diameter of the sun is about 109 times the diameter of the earth,and about 400 times the diameter of the moon.
how much longer is the earth in diameter than the moon?
The Earth is bigger than the moon. While the diameter of the Earth is 12,742 kilometers, the moon's diameter is 3,474 kilometers. The moon is 27 percent the Earth's size.
