Which is biggest between Sun Moon and Earth?
In order of size from largest to smallest Sun > Earth > Moon. If we quote the radius of these objects. Sun ; 695,700 km Earth ; 6,365 km Moon ; 1,736 km From these figures you can see that the Sun is over 100 times bigger than the Earth, and the Earth is nearly 4 times greater than the Moon. The reason why the Sun and Moon appear to the same size is because the Moon is much nearer to the Earth , than the Sun. It is a property of optics that the further away an object is, then the smaller it appears. From the Earth;- Sun's distance is ~92,000,000 miles Moon's distance is ~242,000 miles. From the above radii you can calculate the volume of each object. By using the Gravitational Constant the masses of these objects can be calculated.
