The moon is a bit more than one-quarter (27 percent) the size of Earth, a much larger ratio (1:4) than any other planets and their moons. Earth's moon is the fifth largest moon in the solar system. "If Earth were the size of a nickel, the moon would be about as big as a coffee bean," according to a statement from NASA.
