Imagine if our Earth was as tiny as the Moon! That would be quite an adventure. Let’s explore what might happen if Earth shrunk down to the size of the Moon.
If Earth became as small as the Moon, other planets might think it’s a bit funny. They might look at Earth and say, “Wow, you’re so tiny now!”
Right now, the Moon goes around Earth. But if Earth was as small as the Moon, the Moon might say, “Hey Earth, why don’t you go around me instead?” That would be a big change!
Our tall mountains would look really small if Earth was the size of the Moon. They might not seem as tall and mighty as they do now.
If Earth was so small, there might not be much room left for everyone. Maybe aliens would decide to live in their spaceships instead of visiting Earth!
In a picture of all the planets, Earth would look like a little dot if it was as small as the Moon. It would be the smallest planet in the photo!
People who live in big houses might find themselves in tiny apartments if Earth shrunk. Everything would have to get smaller to fit!
Isn’t it fun to imagine how different things would be if Earth was as small as the Moon? Even though it’s just pretend, thinking about it helps us learn more about our planet and the universe!
Size Comparison Activity: Gather a few objects of different sizes, such as a basketball, a tennis ball, and a marble. Imagine the basketball is Earth and the marble is the Moon. Discuss with your classmates or family how things would change if Earth was the size of the marble. What would happen to the mountains, oceans, and buildings? Try drawing a picture of what Earth might look like if it were as small as the Moon.
Orbit Experiment: Use a small ball to represent the Moon and a larger ball for Earth. Have a friend or family member hold the Earth ball while you walk around it with the Moon ball to show how the Moon orbits Earth. Now switch roles and pretend Earth is as small as the Moon. Walk around the Moon ball with the Earth ball. How does it feel to switch places? Discuss how this change might affect life on Earth.
Imagination Station: Imagine you are an alien visiting the tiny Earth. Write a short story or draw a comic strip about your adventure. What do you see? How do people live on such a small planet? Share your story or drawing with your class or family and talk about how imagining different scenarios helps us understand our world better.

It’s AumSum Time! What if Earth was as small as the Moon? Even AumSum is bigger than Earth!
Firstly, if Earth were as small as the Moon, other planets might start to find it amusing. Secondly, if Earth were as small as the Moon, the Moon might stop revolving around Earth and instead ask Earth to revolve around it.
Thirdly, if Earth were as small as the Moon, even the mountains on Earth would appear very small. Fourthly, if Earth were as small as the Moon, there might not be much empty space left, and aliens could start living in their own spacecraft.
Fifthly, if Earth were as small as the Moon, it would look very small in a group photograph of planets. Lastly, if Earth were as small as the Moon, people living in large mansions might find themselves in very small apartments.
