Yes, though from Earth they appear to be about the same size. The sun and moon appear to be the same size but in actuality the sun is quite a bit larger. The diameter of the sun is about 864,900 miles and the moon is only 2,160 miles. The reason for the apparent size equality is due to the distance of each from the earth. The moon is much closer at 238,857 miles, while the sun is 93,000,000 miles away.
