To determine if the moon is going to be bigger than usual tonight, you can check online resources or apps that provide information on the moon's phases and positions.
To someone living on the moon, the Earth would appear much larger than it does to those on Earth. It would look about 3.7 times bigger in the sky as seen from the moon.
