The Wikipedia lists a mean radius of 43 km. The mean diameter, of course, is twice that number. "Mean" of course means that - like many small objects - it's not exactly spherical, so it has a different size depending on where you measure.

Gravity pulls it together, and it makes the Moon. Scientists think of this as the best logical theory as to how the Moon was formed, and that the Earth could be just a bit older than the Moon.
