The angular size of the moon in our sky is almost exactly the same as the angular size of the sun in our sky. This can be seen and noticed during a full eclipse, by some remarkable coincide, the Earth's moon, from our point of view, is at the perfect distance from Earth in relation to the sun, to have almost matching sizes, allowing for the complete blocking of light when the moon and sun align.
