I hate to be a critic, but I want to point out that the first answerer was incorrect (sorry augmom!) - the moon has one-sixth of Earth's gravity, not one-sixth it's mass.
GoodGuy points out that the moon's mass is 0.0123 that of Earth's. In other words, if you take the reciprocal of that (i.e. 1 divided by .0123), you'll find that the Earth has over 80 times the mass of the moon.

Not sure size-wise (like miles in diameter, if that's what you're asking), but I do know that the moon's mass is about 1/6th that of earth's.

I don't know what you mean by how big but hopefully the info below will answer your query:
Equatorial diameter 3,476.2 km(0.273 Earths)
Polar diameter 3,472.0 km(0.273 Earths)
Oblateness 0.0012
Surface area 3.793Ã107 km²(0.074 Earths)
Volume 2.1958Ã1010 km³(0.020 Earths)
Mass 7.347 673Ã1022 kg(0.0123 Earths)
