Because it is.
There's no real explanation for the size of celestial bodies. What you have to appreciate is that the Earth, the moon and other plannets in our part of the solar system (Mercury, venus, mars) are relatively small compared to other"space things"

There are two parts to this answer.
a) Many people perceive the moon to be bigger when close to the horizon, but this is an optical illusion. Not seen by all subjects.
b) there is a phenomenon called the Libration of the moon, and a very nice movie in 'moon' in wikipedia. (or under libration. )
why the moon is so big is cause its closer to earth so its bigger and why is small sometimes is casue its farther from earth.
Its called the moon Illousion, no-one knows why this happens, there are two theorys tho
because the moon is closer to earth than other planets
The moon is actually not small. It just appears small to the human eye since it is so far away from planet Earth. When looking through a telescope, it appears much larger.
The moon always appears larger at full moon because it is closer to Earth.
Because it's closer to the earth therefore appears to be bigger.
because we get closer to it.
Earth exerts a pull on the moon, which keeps it orbiting the Earth. Since the Earth is so big compared to the moon, it pulls the moon toward it. In a sense, the moon is falling towards the Earth, but since the moon is also moving forwards, it ends up going around and around the Earth.
No. The sun is the bright yellow thing in the sky. The moon is the big white thing in the sky.
no actaully they are 2 different things th sun is a big ball of fire the moon is a rock hard solid ball
s the moon is mostly a vary big rock \
The moon orbits the Earth every month and as it does so, we see different parts of the moon lit up by the sun, which causes the moon to go through 'phases'.
i have asked you not that you will ask to me
No
it doesn't orbit the sun. it only orbits jupiter.
The Moon's size isn't all that big. The surface area of the Moon is about the size of the African continent.
it was the closest to earth that time
The moon seems big to people because of how close it is next to Earth and would also seem like it is small when it is further away.
Because God made it this way, so beautiful, to see from the moon.

On the moon there are big rocks that are shaped kind of weird so I guess you could call them structures.

the moon is 120025 big and almost filled our sky
It was the first time that man was trying to leave the planet earth and try to land on the moon, so it was a big attempt to land on the moon.
