Well, friend, the Moon is actually quite tiny compared to the Earth. If you can imagine Earth as a big beach ball, then the Moon would be like a much smaller grape sitting next to it. But remember, every piece of the universe, no matter its size, has its own unique beauty and plays a special role in the grand story of our cosmos. Bless this little grape of a Moon, happy and content in its celestial dance with Earth.
The Moon is considerably smaller than the Earth. Its volume is about 2% of the Earth's. Its mass is only about 1.2% of the Earth's. Its surface gravity is about 1/6 that of the Earth.
because the moon is much smaller than earth
The moon appears smaller when viewed from Earth because it is much farther away than it seems. Its distance causes it to appear smaller in comparison to objects on Earth.
Compared to what ? -- Compared to the surface of Mars, it's 43.7% as much. -- Compared to the surface of Pluto, it's 2.8 times as much. -- Compared to the surface of the Earth, it's 16.5% as much.
An object on the moon's surface weighs 0.165 as much as it does on the Earth's surface.

it rotates quicker
because the moon is much smaller than earth
The moon is much more smaller than the Earth.
Earth is way smaller than Jupiter. Not the other way around
The gravity on the moon is about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth.
The moon appears smaller when viewed from Earth because it is much farther away than it seems. Its distance causes it to appear smaller in comparison to objects on Earth.
The moon is very much smaller than the earth. The moon's atmosphere is thinner than the earth's.

I dont think so; Earth would appear to be bigger from moon compared to what Moon appears to be from Earth The earth's diameter is 3.67 times the moon's diameter. As seen from the moon, the earth appears 3.67 times as large in the sky as the moon appears from earth.
No, the moon is relatively larger compared to the moons of other terrestrial planets. It is the fifth largest moon in the solar system, with a diameter about one-quarter that of Earth. Other terrestrial planets, such as Mars and Mercury, have smaller moons in comparison.
