The Moon is smaller than the Earth
because the moon is much smaller than earth
It isn't smaller - Earth is larger.
No. The moon is the same size as the earth. We just see it the way we so because of the distance between them.
Since the Moon is quite a bit smaller than Earth, the Moon's shadow can only cover part of Earth's surface. In that case, the people in that shadow will see a solar eclipse.
Mercury is almost the same size as the Moon. The Moon is smaller than Earth. Mercury is then smaller than Earth.
It means that the part of the moon illuminated by the sun, that we can see here on earth, is getting smaller. Half the time the moon is waxing and half the time it is waning. A full cycle takes about 28 earth days, the time it takes the moon to orbit the earth once.
The moon is much smaller, about 1/4 the diameter of Earth.
