I would like to serious debate this topic. I see posts like the world is flat and other things which are utterly ridiculous but Nikola Tesla himself said humans one day could create suns, planets, and even chose their size, shape, and distance from one another. I have a lot of information on this subject I will slowly discuss over time but let's start with one point...the fact that our moon is the only moon in solar system which makes a solar eclipse. The sun and moon are exactly the same size in our sky. The Moon is about 400 times smaller than the Sun, but it also just happens to be about 400 times closer. The result is that from Earth, they appear to be the same size.
It is thought that a proto-planet collided with Earth early in its 4.6 billion year history, combining with it. This made the Earth molten again and is also thought to have flung a large chunk of mass into orbit, creating the moon.
This is though to be the cause of the moon's similar elemental composition to Earth's and also its unusually large size compared to Earth.
The synchronicity of sun-moon size and distance can be attributed to chance. The relative sizes of the sun and moon don't match up perfectly, and also the moon is flying further away from the moon over time, so soon only annular eclipses will be visible on Earth.
