The answer to that truthfully is: "Mere coincidence".
Though the sun is bigger the moon is closer to earth creating the illusion that they are the same size. Hope this helped.
the moon is smaller but its closer. the sun is huge but its way farther away so that why they look the same size.

No, the moon and sun are not the same size. The sun is much larger than the moon.
No, the moon is not the same size as the sun. The sun is much larger than the moon.
No, the sun is much larger than the moon. The sun has a diameter about 400 times greater than the moon, but it also happens to be about 400 times farther away from Earth than the moon. This is why they appear to be roughly the same size in the sky.
The sun is millions of times bigger than the moon, but the moon is many times closer to Earth.
objects look bigger the closer to you they are. the moon is small, but close to earth. the sun is much larger, but much farther away.
They appear to be the same size, as the sun is a very long distance away. The sun is many times larger than the moon.
The Sun is about 950,000 miles across. The Moon is about 2,160 miles across. Coincidentally, they LOOK the same size! The apparent diameter of the Sun is very nearly the same as the apparent diameter of the Moon, which is what makes eclipses so interesting. This is because the Sun is 93,000,000 miles away, while the Moon is only 250,000 miles away.
Even tho the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, they appear to be the same size in the say, because the Moon is so much closer to the earth.
no the earth and the moon are not the same size the sun is about 100 times bigger than the earth
