The Earth has one natural satellite, the Moon. Occasionally you will hear someone refer to something such as the asteroid Cruithne as "Earth's second moon," but this is stretching the term "moon" to its breaking point. Cruithne does not orbit the Earth; it orbits the Sun, and therefore is not an actual moon.

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.)
