The Earth is larger than the Moon. The Moon's smaller mass means that the gravity on the Moon is only about 1/6 of the gravity at the Earth's surface.

  • The Earth is 12,742-12,756 km in diameter
  • The Moon is 3,474.8 -3,476 km in diameter

If the Earth were the size of a Basketball, the Moon would be the size of a tennis ball in comparison. However, of all the moons in the solar system, our moon is largest in proportion to the planet it orbits. All other moons, even the ones larger than our moon, are much smaller when compared in proportion to the planets they orbit.
