In terms of diameter, the Sun is 400 times the Moon's diameter. It is also 400 times as far away and this means that the disk of the moon and the sun appear the same size when viewed from earth.

What moon larger than Mercury and has atmosphere?

Titan, Saturn's largest moon, is the only moon in our solar system with its own atmosphere. It (and Jupiter's Ganymede) are both larger than Mercury. I believe the surface gravity on each is less than that of Mercury, however. Not absolutely certain of this. I saw Titan for the first time earlier this year, through our astronomy club's new 14" telescope.

What is the moon's angular size in arcseconds?

To be precise about it, it varies somewhat, depending on the moon's distance from the earth, just as you'd expect. At the time of the full moon on December 31, it was 33' 57", or 2,037 arc seconds ... about 10% larger than 1/2 degree. At the time I'm writing this ... 11 days after that full moon ... the moon's apparent visual diameter is 30' 25", or 1,825 arc seconds ... about 10.4 % smaller than 11 days ago, and now just 1 % larger than 1/2 degree.
