Sun: 109 times the diameter of the Earth.

Moon: About 1/4 the diameter of the Earth.

Note that the surface is proportional to the second power; and the volume, to the third power of the diameter. For example, the Sun's volume is more than a million times the Earth's volume.

You get yet other numbers if you compare masses, instead of diameter or volume.

The sun is very big compared to the moonwhy does the moon look bigger than the sun when you view from the earth?

The moon appears bigger than the sun when viewed from Earth because it is much closer to us. The moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun, but it is also about 400 times closer to Earth, which creates the illusion of them appearing to be the same size in the sky.


Why does the moon orbit the Earth and not the Sun?

The moon orbits the Earth because of the gravitational pull between the two bodies. This gravitational force is stronger between the Earth and the moon compared to the Sun and the moon, causing the moon to primarily orbit around the Earth.
