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.
