中文翻譯:
地球的月亮有多大呢？在我們的太陽系中，月亮的大小排第五，僅次於木星的衛星甘尼美德、土星的衛星泰坦，還有木星的另一個衛星卡利斯托和艾奧。接著是木星的歐羅巴和海王星的海神星。在這個特別的排名中，我們的月亮比矮行星冥王星和厄里斯都還大！月亮的直徑是3475公里，差不多是地球的四分之一大小，因此當我們比較衛星與母星的大小時，月亮是最大的！在這個靜謐的暮色海洋和天空下，八月的圓月在古老的漁網裡看起來像是小小的寶藏。這張照片是在意大利阿德里亞海的特拉博基海岸拍攝的，真的讓人感到驚艷喔！

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.
