Moon Size Scaling

This worksheet helps students understand relative moon sizes by ranking ten Solar System moons from largest to smallest. Learners use given diameters to order names such as Ganymede, Titan, and Enceladus, then identify which are larger than Earth’s Moon. The activity promotes data interpretation, numerical comparison, and visual reasoning. It connects mathematical reasoning to astronomy by helping students visualize scale differences among celestial bodies. The exercise builds foundational understanding of measurement and proportional reasoning in space science.
