If the diameter of the moon doubled, while its mass remained unchanged, it would appear twice as large in the sky
as seen from earth, and the weight of every stone and grain of dust on its surface would shrink by 75% .
The duration of 'totality' during a solar eclipse would roughly double, but these occurrences would become
scientifically less useful, since the solar corona would be largely obstructed.

When you double the diameter, the circumference is also doubled.
Is Pluto smaller the Earths moons?
Yes as Pluto is the smallest and the last planet in the solar system, it is smaller then the earths moons.
What is the ratio of the diameter of moon to the diameter of the earth?
The Moons semi-major axis is 384,399 km The Moons mean diameter is 3474.2 km. So about 110 moons would fill this gap.
What are the planet's diameters?
Mercury's diameter (at the equator) = 4880km or 0.3825 x Earths diameter Venus' diameter = 12,104km or 0.9488 x Earths Earth's diameter = 12,756km Mars' diameter = 6794km or 0.5323 x Earths Jupiter's diameter = 142,984km or 11.21 x Earths Saturn's diameter = 120,534km or 9.45 x Earths Uranus' diameter = 51,114km or 4.01 x Earths Neptune's diameter = 49,532km or 3.88 x Earths (Pluto's diameter = 2306km or 0.18 x Earths) I included Pluto on the end there, its not classed as a planet any more though, but a dwarf planet.
What happens to the circumference when the diameter of a circle is doubled or triple?

What happens to the area of a circle when its doubled?
