What has a bigger shadow moon or earth?
The Earth's shadow is larger than the Moon's shadow because the Earth is much larger in size and has a greater surface area for casting shadows. The Moon's shadow is smaller in comparison, especially during a solar eclipse when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun.
How many times is Earth larger than the Moon?
Earth's diameter is about 3.7 times bigger than the Moon's Earth's volume is about 50 times greater than the Moon's Earth's surface area is about 14.29 times greater than the Moon's Earth's mass is about 81.3 times greater than the Moon's
Is the moon about twice the size of the earth?
umm... no. The moon is about 4 times smaller than the Earth
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.)
Why does the moon to wax and wave?
The Moon waxes( grows from crescent to full) and then Wanes ( from full to crescent) every 28 1/2 days. The Moon is lit by the Sun and the Earth is often between the two causing the Earth to partially shadow the Moon's surface . Every evening a larger and larger portion of it is illuminated by the Sun until you see it as a Full Moon. The Shadow of the Earth now starts to shadow or 'occult' the moon from the opposite side until in complete shadow of the Earth. A New Moon appears a few days later.
How is the moon larger than the earth?
-- The earth's diameter (distance through the center) is about 3.7 times the moon's diameter. -- The earth's surface area is about 13.5 times the moon's surface area. -- The earth's volume is about 49.5 times the moon's volume. -- The earth's mass is about 82 times the moon's mass.

Will a full earth illuminate the lunar landscape more than a full moon will illuminate the surface of the earth?
The Earth will illuminate the lunar landscape more, for two reasons: a) Earth has a larger surface area. b) Earth has a larger albedo, meaning that it reflects a larger percentage of the sunlight.

Is there a moon larger than earth?
NO......... Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter, is the largest in this solar system. At 5,268 km at the equator, it is larger than Mercury, the dwarf planet Pluto, and three times larger than the Moon orbiting Earth. Even it is 3 times larger than earth's moon it is still not big enough to oversize earth.
