The area of a sphere can be obtained by A = 4*pi*r^2
Let us compare the surface areas of the Earth and the Moon:
Surface area of the Earth:
A = 4*pi*(3960)^2
A = 197060797.4 mi^2
Surface area of the Moon:
A = 4*pi*(1080)^2
A = 14657414.68 mi^2
Comparing the two:
197060797.4/
14657414.68 = 13.44
Therefore, the surface area of the Earth is 13.44 times much larger than the surface area of the Moon.
