Imagine Earth is a basketball, that means the moon would be about the size of a tennis ball. If you put them next to each other, the distance between them would be like standing in a classroom and walking all the way to the end of the hallway. The sun would be bigger than a beach ball, but it’d be much farther away, like being on one side of the school and the sun is on the other.
