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.)


Which is larger the Moon or Earth?

The Earth is larger than the Moon. The Moon's smaller mass means that the gravity on the Moon is only about 1/6 of the gravity at the Earth's surface.The Earth is 12,742-12,756 km in diameterThe Moon is 3,474.8 -3,476 km in diameterIf the Earth were the size of a basketball, the Moon would be the size of a tennis ball in comparison. However, of all the moons in the solar system, our moon is largest in proportion to the planet it orbits. All other moons, even the ones larger than our moon, are much smaller when compared in proportion to the planets they orbit.

How are the size and mass of the moon different from that of Earth?

The moon is smaller than the Earth so that would mean the size is smaller and the mass is also smaller because the mass depends on the size of the object so the moon would have less mass than Earth.


Is earth about the size of a basketball?

Only if you are in a spaceship very far away and you have a basketball in your hand and it is April 1st. No, the Earth is NOT the size of a basketball. If it were, then there is no way with the technology we have now that we could create a basketball. Also, there is no way that we would be able to have so many basketballs on Earth as we do.
