Why sun is bigger when rising or setting?
The Sun is the same apparent size all the time. It looks larger at sunrise and sunset because you can see its size in comparison with things on the ground like trees and buildings. The same phenomenon happens with our Moon.
What does the distances from sun to earth and moon from earth mean?
It means that by coincidence the Moon looks the same size as the Sun in the sky - so we get to see total eclipses of the Sun, when the Moon fits exactly in front of the Sun and blocks its light out for a few minutes.

Yes because the moon does not change size.
Is the moon a third of earth?
No. The moon is the same size as the earth. We just see it the way we so because of the distance between them.
When the moon grows bigger it is called?

How would you describe the way the moon looks if you see it rising at about noon?
If you could see it, it would be a waxing half moon with the upper (eastern) half of the moon lit.
Do you see different sides of the moon as the phases of the moon?
No, we see the same side of the moon as it orbits and goes through phases because the moon rotates at the same rate it orbits.
When you see a full moon is it the same moon as before or a different one?
same one
Does the whole world see the full moon the same way?
No, the earth is round, so not everyone can see the moon at the same time. Only when your side of the world is pointed toward the moon can you see it.
