Well the moon is smaller and closer, and the sun is larger and further away. We all know that the further away an object is the smaller it appears; it's just miraculous that the Earth, Moon and Sun are spaced apart at the perfect distances for the moon to appear almost exactly the same size as the sun.

Why does the earth and moon always looks the same size?

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.
