The moon has a diameter of about 3,474 kilometers (2,159 miles), making it the fifth largest moon in the solar system. Compared to Earth, the moon is about one-quarter the size of Earth, with a surface area of approximately 37.9 million square kilometers (14.6 million square miles). The moon's size is small enough to be affected by the Earth's gravitational pull, which causes the tides, and also affects the moon's orbit around the Earth.
