no the earth and the moon are not the same size the sun is about 100 times bigger than the earth
the moon appears to be the same size as the sun because it is closer to earth
The sun and the moon are the same distance from the earth
The sun is approximately 400 times the size of the moon, however, it is also approximately 400 times farther away. This relationship cancels out and makes the sun and the moon appear observationally to be the same size on earth.
If the sun were the size of a human eyeball then Earth would be the size of a grain of fine sand.
Well the moon is smaller and closer, and the sun is larger and further away. We all know that the further away an object is the smaller it appears; it's just miraculous that the Earth, Moon and Sun are spaced apart at the perfect distances for the moon to appear almost exactly the same size as the sun.
no
Though the sun is bigger the moon is closer to earth creating the illusion that they are the same size. Hope this helped.

the moon is smaller but its closer. the sun is huge but its way farther away so that why they look the same size.

The gravity of the sun is more. The sun is the roughly the size of 946 Earths.
No way. The Earth is about 8,000 miles across and the sun is 865,000 miles across, over 100 times wider!
Earth but Venus is almost the same size
Even tho the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, they appear to be the same size in the say, because the Moon is so much closer to the earth.
The sun is millions of times bigger than the moon, but the moon is many times closer to Earth.
