No. Not even close. The diameter of Ganymede is a third that of Earth, the density of Ganymede is 1/6th that of Earth, and that MASS of Ganymede is about 5% of Earth's.

Ganymede is about 50% larger than our Moon, but only about twice as massive. By density, Ganymede is a fluffball.

The moon is smaller than Earth because it formed from material that was broken off of Earth in a collision with a smaller planet.
