because the earth is far from the moon
The Earth is bigger than the Moon. Earth's diameter is about 12,742 kilometers, while the Moon's diameter is about 3,474 kilometers.
because the moon is much smaller than earth
The moon appears to change size due to its elliptical orbit around the Earth, resulting in phases where it appears smaller (waning) or larger (waxing) from our perspective. However, the actual size of the moon remains relatively constant in relation to Earth.
The moon is much smaller, about 1/4 the diameter of Earth.
The Moon is considerably smaller than the Earth. Its volume is about 2% of the Earth's. Its mass is only about 1.2% of the Earth's. Its surface gravity is about 1/6 that of the Earth.
The Earth and Moon do not always appear to be the same size in the sky. The Moon looks smaller because it is much smaller than Earth and is also much further away. However, during a total solar eclipse, the Moon can appear to be the same size or slightly larger than the Sun due to their relative distances and positioning.
That is wrong the moon looks smaller.
The Sun looks the same size from the Moon as it does from the Earth, varying from smaller to larger by less than 1%.
moon is smaller
The moon is 1,737.10 km and Venus is 6,052 km so it is not smaller. The moon is closer to the earth so it looks bigger in the sky.
The Earth is bigger than the Moon. Earth's diameter is about 12,742 kilometers, while the Moon's diameter is about 3,474 kilometers.

It isn't smaller - Earth is larger.
The moon appears to change size due to its elliptical orbit around the Earth, resulting in phases where it appears smaller (waning) or larger (waxing) from our perspective. However, the actual size of the moon remains relatively constant in relation to Earth.
The moon goes from full moon and gradually gets smaller till it is a new moon and then gets larger until it comes full circle back to full moon.
Mercury is almost the same size as the Moon. The Moon is smaller than Earth. Mercury is then smaller than Earth.
