Earth and Moon Compared
The Moon has approximately 1/4 Earth's diameter, 1/50 Earth's volume, and 1/80 Earth's mass. Earth is very dense overall (it is the densest planet in the Solar System), but the Moon is light for its size. The difference is partly because Earth has a large core of iron and other heavy metallic elements, while the Moon has only a small core, if it has a core at all. The Moon's surface gravity is 1/6 of Earth's, and escape velocity from the surface is about 1/5 of Earth's.

they are all three supposed to be the same size because they all have the same importance or else youd have an extra one so i believe that they are because they wouldnt teach it at school theyd have it somewhere ytou could visit and find out because i dont know anyone whos an expert about the moon and its none of their business because they can see the whole thing and not really understand what its for

No, becuse the moon is in our graviational pull. If it was bigger we would be revolving around the moon, not the other way around.

it is in fact one sixth the size of the earth. So no, it isn't
