A Comparison of Some Major Moons, and the Earth's Moon
This is a picture of the Earth's moon, in the center, compared to several other moons.
The picture shows that the Earth's moon is a lot smaller than Ganymede, Callisto, and Titan.
The Earth's moon is about the same size as Io, and is a little larger than Europa.
The picture does not show Triton, which is also about the same size as the Earth's moon.
