Although Jupiter has many moons, Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system. The Earth. Our moon is larger, relative to the size of our planet, than any other moon in the solar system.
Earth's moon is unusually large in proportion to its planet.

The only planet close in size to the moon is Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. The mean radius of the moon is 1737.10 km The mean radius of Mercury is 2439.7 km There are many dwarf planets that are close in size to the moon, but that would be another question.
Its Earth, with its one moon which is called `The Moon`. Although our moon is not the largest in the solar system, it still comparatively large compared to its planet. The other large moons in the solar system are around much larger outer planets. If we consider dwarf planet Pluto, there is an even bigger moon in comparison (Charon).
The white planet close to Earth is the Moon. It is Earth's only natural satellite, and its surface appears white due to the reflection of sunlight off its rocky, dust-covered surface.
A planet is too large to sit on a moon.
The fictional planet Tralfamadore is the moon of a large planet called Tran.

The closest planet to the Moon today is Mars. It is currently not physically close to the Moon but is closest to it in terms of its position in the sky.
Yes. The moon is close to the planet it orbits: Earth.
No, a dwarf planet is not a moon. A moon is a body which orbits a large body. However, dwarf planets don't orbit any larger bodies and just orbit the sun in their solar system. Most dwarf planets are failed planets that were forming, but were to close to a gas giant whose gravity messed up the formation of the planet.
