Correct. The moon appears larger than the stars because it is much closer to us.
moon is smaller
The Earth is bigger than the Moon. Earth's diameter is about 12,742 kilometers, while the Moon's diameter is about 3,474 kilometers.
The Moon is smaller than the Earth
It is smaller than earth.
Titan is bigger than Earth's moon by 1,676 km
To someone living on the moon, the Earth would appear much larger than it does to those on Earth. It would look about 3.7 times bigger in the sky as seen from the moon.
because the moon is one quarter size of the earth.
The moon is much smaller, about 1/4 the diameter of Earth.
Moon orbit Earth-- Satellite. It big. Very Big. Smaller Earth. Bigger Elephant.
The moon appears smaller when viewed from Earth because it is much farther away than it seems. Its distance causes it to appear smaller in comparison to objects on Earth.
The Moon's orbit is elliptical; it can be as near to Earth as 240,000 miles and as far as 280,000 miles. Near the horizon, there are atmospheric illusions that make the Moon appear to be larger than it is. The more "full" the Moon is, the bigger it appears to be. When these factors are combined, at the time of the perigee full moon, the Moon can be objectively about 15% larger than normal, and the illusion at Moonrise can make the Moon appear to be enormous. The moon looks different sizes at different times due to the distance apart it is from earth. The further away the moon is from earth the smaller it will look. The closer to earth it is the bigger it will look.
In order for the moon to have been captured by the earth, it has to be smaller than the earth. If it were bigger, it would have pulled the earth into its orbit, making the earth the moon.
