Check the picture in the post. I'm pretty sure it is to scale.

They are much larger, but the moon is much further away from Earth than you imagined.



The thing is that it doesn't look to scale to me. But that's probably because most other visualizations/models are not right. Especially in the distances. I checked some other images and while the planets seem to scale, my brain multiplies the size of the planets with the distance ratio.
