Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It’s true that Earth’s volume is about 49.3 times the volume of the moon, but Earth’s diameter is only about 3.67 times the diameter of the moon. Although it’s about 400, 000 km away, the moon is 3474 km wide.
Detailed explanation-2: -2) How big is the Moon? This one’s another easy approximation to remember: The Moon is about one-fourth (or a quarter) the size of Earth in width. Put another way, Earth is about four times wider than the Moon. That’s just about as wide as the United States or Europe.
