also, I'm not sure if the moon's shadow is actually smaller than it on the surface of the earth?

Earth - Moon ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun

Surface ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Penny ------------- Flashlight

If I put a penny under the light from a flashlight, the shadow is much larger than the penny.

If I put the moon in front of the sun, the shadow is much smaller.
