∙ 9y agoThe diameter of the Moon is about 1/4 (one fourth) the Earth's diameter. (more precisely 27.3% or about 12/44).
Moon diameter = 3476 km (equator) 3472 km (polar)
Earth's diameter = 12756 km (equator), 12742 km (polar)
The volume of the Moon is about 1/50th (one fiftieth) of the Earth's volume.

What fraction would represent the size of the moon compared to the size of the earth?
It is approx 105/5189.
What is the fraction of the earths size compared to the moon?
The Moon is 1/4 of Earth's diameter, 1/50 of Earth's volume, and 1/80 of Earth's mass.
Size of the illuminated portion of planet or moon?
Exactly 50% of the moon is illuminated at any moment. As the moon revolves around the earth and its position changes, the fraction of that illuminated 50% that's visible to us on earth changes.

How are the size and mass of the moon different for that of the earth?
Size: The Moon has about 1/4 of the diameter of Earth. Mass: The Moon has about 1/81 of the mass of Earth.
What is the size difference of the earth and the moon?
In rough rounded figures . . . -- The moon's diameter is 27.3% the size of the Earth's diameter. -- That makes the moon's surface area 7.5% the size of Earth's surface area. -- And it makes the moon's volume 2% the size of the Earth's volume. -- The moon's mass is 1.23% the size of the Earth's mass. (When we notice that the moon has 2% of Earth's volume but only 1.23% its mass, we realize immediately that the moon's average density is only 60% of the Earth's average density.)
