If the moon is 1m wide and the Earth is four times the size what size is the Earth?

The Earth is much more than 8 times "bigger" than the Moon, but there are several ways in which this could be interpreted; in terms of diameter, surface area, volume, or mass.
The Earth is about 5 time larger in diameter than the Moon; the Earth has a diameter of about 13,000 km, while the Moon has a diameter of about 2400 km.
In surface area, the difference is more pronounced; the Moon has about the same surface area as the continent of Africa, about 1/15th that of the Earth.
By volume, the Moon is only about 1/40th of the Earth's volume, and if measured by mass, the Earth is about 80 times more massive. (The Earth has a much greater density than the Moon does.)

Is the moon about twice the size of the earth?
umm... no. The moon is about 4 times smaller than the Earth
How many times bigger is the Earth from the Moon?
The diameter of the Earth is 12,742 km. The diameter of the Moon is 3,474 km. This means that the moon is approximately 27% the size of the Earth or around 1/4. To answer your question more directly, the Earth is about 4 times the size of the Moon.
Is the earth and sun the same size?
no the earth and the moon are not the same size the sun is about 100 times bigger than the earth
Order the planets from largest to smallest Earth Jupiter Pluto Neptune?
Only Jupiter and Earth are planets. The Sun is a star and The Moon is a "moon", which is an object that orbits a planet due to gravitational forces. However, if we were to list those four space objects by order of size, then the largest is The Sun then Jupiter then Earth and finally The Moon. Here is a size comparison: The Sun is 984 times bigger than Jupiter; Jupiter is 1300 times bigger than Earth; and Earth is 49 times the size of The Moon. This makes the Sun larger than Earth by 1,279,200 times! Quite humbling..
Why do the sun and moon appear to be the same in size and shape?
The sun is approximately 400 times the size of the moon, however, it is also approximately 400 times farther away. This relationship cancels out and makes the sun and the moon appear observationally to be the same size on earth.
When viewed from the moon the earth looks like it is about the same size as the moon when viewed from the earth Since it is at least four times bigger why doesn't the earth look four times bigger?

What is four difference between earth and moon?
The Earth is bigger in size. The Earth is a planet. The Moon has no plants. The Moon has less gravity.

Why does the sun and moon look the same size to us on earth?
The sun is millions of times bigger than the moon, but the moon is many times closer to Earth.
How many times the diameter of the moon is the diameter of the earth?
The Moon is one-fourth the diameter of the Earth, so that means that four Moons would fit into the diameter of the Earth. This does not mean that the Moon is one-fourth the size of the Earth; the Earth is significantly larger.
Is the earth and sun the same size?
no the earth and the moon are not the same size the sun is about 100 times bigger than the earth
How much smaller is earth than the moon?
The moon is only about 1/4 of the size of the planet Earth, and weighs about 80 times less than Earth. The distance from Earth to the moon is 225,128 miles.
What is the relative size and distance relationships among the sun earth and moon?
The earth's diameter is 3.67 times the moon's, and 0.0092 of the sun's diameter. The distance to the sun is 391 times the distance to the moon. The moon's diameter is 0.283 of the earth's, and 0.0025 of the sun's. The distance to the earth is 0.0026 times the distance to the sun. The sun's diameter is 109 times the earth's, and 400 times the moon's diameter. On the average over a month, the earth and moon are at equal distances from the sun.

What is the planet that is 4 times the size of earth?
The radius of Uranus is roughly 4 times the radius of Earth. However, in volume, it would be around 43=64 times larger than Earth. Hence, There is no planet in our solar system which is four times the size of the Earth.
Why do the sun and moon appear to be the same in size and shape?
The sun is approximately 400 times the size of the moon, however, it is also approximately 400 times farther away. This relationship cancels out and makes the sun and the moon appear observationally to be the same size on earth.
