How is Earth's moon different then moons of other planets?
Earth's moon is very large in proportion to its planet. It is just over one quarter of Earth's diameter. While several moons in the solar system are larger than our moon, they orbit much larger planets.
What are the size of moons?
Moons vary in size, with some being as small as a few hundred meters in diameter while others can be larger than some planets, like Jupiter's moon Ganymede which is larger than the planet Mercury. The largest moon in our solar system, Ganymede, has a diameter of about 5,268 kilometers.
Is io bigger than earth?
Io is smaller than the Earth, around 3660km in diameter compared with Earths diameter of around 12750km.
What is unusual about the size of the moon?
The moon is unusually large in proportion to Earth at just over a quarter its diameter. While several moons in the solar system are larger than ours, they orbit much larger planets.
How man earths could fit inside the sun?
Approximately 1.3 million Earths could fit inside the Sun. The Sun's diameter is about 109 times that of Earth, making its volume much larger.
Is a martian moon smaller than earth?
Yes, much smaller. Earth is much larger than even the largest moons in the solar system. The moons of Mars are tiny as far as moons go. Phobos has a mean diameter of 22 km (13.6 miles) while Deimos has a mean diameter of 12 km (7.5 miles). So the Martian moons are smaller than some cities.

How many moons can fill the circumference of the sun?
Approximately 109 Earths could fit across the sun's diameter, based on the sun being about 109 times wider than Earth. Since the moon is much smaller than Earth, it would take many more moons than Earths to fill the circumference of the sun.
Which is larger the earth or the earths orbit?
the earths orbit because the earths orbit is the size of earth + the size of the moon
How much bigger is our moon than Pluto?
Pluto has 3 moons, and all of them are smaller than Pluto. The largest moon, Charon, is about half the diameter of Pluto.
How many earths diameter would fit in a star?
actually, there is no definite answer. As time goes on as a star's life, the star will gradually increase in size until it expands to maximum size. Then, the star will start to shrink smaller and smaller, so there is always a different number of earths in a star.
Are some of Jupiter's moons bigger then Pluto?
Yes! For example, Ganymede is the largest moon in the Solar System. Ganymede is larger in diameter than Mercury and much larger than Pluto. Callisto, Io, and Europa are also larger than Pluto.
Are stars really little moons?
No. Stars are much larger than planets or moons. Stars are suns, some larger and brighter than our own.
