I had to laugh at this and take a photo. I think I'll do this in two posts.
Officially, this is the size of the celestial bodies in our galaxy, apparently to scale. The Earth is third from top on the right side.
Next we have a graphic, not to scale, that illustrates the difference in how far the Moon is away from the Earth compared to how far away the Sun is; and how big the Sun is compared to how big the Moon is.
Next we have a graphic that shows, apparently to scale, how far the Moon is actually from the Earth. Times this by 400 to get the Sun's distance from the Earth.
