They don't, though the only reason one could draw that conclusion could be because the moon reflects the suns light.
No, the sun is much larger than the moon. The sun has a diameter about 400 times greater than the moon, but it also happens to be about 400 times farther away from Earth than the moon. This is why they appear to be roughly the same size in the sky.
A new moon rises at approximately the same time as the sun rises and sets. This is because the moon is in the same part of the sky as the sun during a new moon phase.
They appear to be the same size, as the sun is a very long distance away. The sun is many times larger than the moon.
The moon and sun have the same orbital position during the new moon phase. At this time, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, making it difficult to see the moon from Earth. This alignment means that both celestial bodies share the same ecliptic longitude, resulting in the moon being in conjunction with the sun.
The sun.
Though the sun is bigger the moon is closer to earth creating the illusion that they are the same size. Hope this helped.
the moon is smaller but its closer. the sun is huge but its way farther away so that why they look the same size.

The answer to that truthfully is: "Mere coincidence".
The sun is millions of times bigger than the moon, but the moon is many times closer to Earth.
objects look bigger the closer to you they are. the moon is small, but close to earth. the sun is much larger, but much farther away.

No, the moon and sun are not the same size. The sun is much larger than the moon.
No, the moon is not the same size as the sun. The sun is much larger than the moon.
it looks like an average day, except there is a moon.
When the moon is on the same side of earth as the sun ... in the same direction ... then we look up at the moon's un-illuminated side. We can't see any of it at all, and we call it the "New Moon" phase. If the moon is exactly lined up with the sun at that time ... not above or below it in the sky ... then it blocks the sun from our view, and we have a solar eclipse.
At new moon, the Moon is right next to the Sun - that is, you see it in the same direction, more or less. At new moon, the Moon rises together with the Sun.
