地球的衛星有多大?與太陽系的其他衛星相比,它在從大到小的排名表上位列第五,緊隨木星的衛星木衛三、土星的衛星土衛六以及木衛二的衛星卡利斯托和木衛一之後。繼續往下看,月球排在木星的歐羅巴和海王星的海衛一之前。它也比矮行星冥王星和鬩神星大。月球的直徑為 3475 公里,約為地球的 1 / 4 大小,與太陽系母行星的大小相比,它確實是最大的衛星。當然,在這寧靜的黃昏海景和天空中,八月升起的滿月仍然顯得很小,足以被古代漁船的漁網捕捉。這張遠攝快照是沿著亞得里亞海上的義大利 Costa dei Trabocchi 拍攝的。
原文:How big is planet Earth's Moon? Compared to other moons of the Solar System, it's number 5 on the largest to smallest ranked list, following Jupiter's moon Ganymede, Saturn's moon Titan, and Jovian moons Callisto and Io. Continuing the list, the Moon comes before Jupiter's Europa and Neptune's Triton. It's also larger than dwarf planets Pluto and Eris. With a diameter of 3,475 kilometers the Moon is about 1/4 the size of Earth though, and that does make it the largest moon when compared to the size of its parent Solar System planet. Of course in this serene, twilight sea and skyscape, August's rising Full Moon still appears small enough to be caught in the nets of an ancient fishing rig. The telephoto snapshot was taken along the Italian Costa dei Trabocchi, on the Adriatic Sea.
