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.

Reason for the increase and decrease in the size of the moon?

First: the Moon's actual size does not change.The Moon's APPARENT size changes because its orbit around the Earth is not a perfect circle; some times it's closer than others, so it appears larger. When its perigee (when it's closest to Earth) occurs near a full moon, it's called a "supermoon", and can appear noticeably larger than normal. (Perigee occurs about once a month, but it's less noticeable when it happens at a time other than full moon.)
