There's a reason for why the moon and the sun look about the same size from Earth!

The moon it’s the brightest object in the sky after the Sun, although it's surface is actually dark, with a reflectance just slightly higher than that of worn asphalt.

Its prominence in the sky and it's regular cycle of phases have, since ancient times, made the Moon an important cultural influence on language, calendars, art and mythology.

The Moon is thought to have formed nearly 4.5 billion years ago, not long after the Earth. Although there have been several hypotheses for its origin in the past, the current most widely accepted explanation is that the Moon formed from the debris left over after a giant impact between Earth and a Mars-sized body.

Something interesting about it, it’s that the Moon is about 400 times smaller than the Sun, but it also just happens to be about 400 times closer. The result is that from Earth, they appear to be the same size!
