Best Answer

The Sun is about 416 times larger than the Moon. You could fit about 72 million Moons in the Sun.

The sun is about 1.4 million kilometers (900,00 miles) wide. The moon is only about 1740 kilometers (1,081) wide. So as you can see there is a massive difference between the size of the sun and the moon.

The Sun is 400 times larger than the moon.

Also, the Sun is 400 times farther away from the Earth than the moon. Put those two facts together make the moon appear as the same size as the Sun which comes in handy during an eclipse.

From the earth, their apparent size is pretty much the same (by chance), but the Sun is a lot bigger and further away. The suns diameter is 400 times greater than the moons, but the sun is 400 times further away - so they look a similar size to an observer on earth.

The moons average diameter in km is 3474km

The suns average diameter is 1392000km

Yes. And as a cosmic quirk, the sun is 400 times farther away than the moon. Because of this, the celestrial even known as a total solar eclipse is possible. If the sun were any bigger, or the moon a little father away, it would not be possible.
