And... indeed they are. But the diameters of each of the other planets combined are less than the average distance between the Earth and the Moon:
Average distance from Earth to the Moon:
Approximately 384,400 kilometers.
Diameters of the other planets:
Mercury: 4,880 kilometers
Venus: 12,104 kilometers
Mars: 6,779 kilometers
Jupiter: 139,820 kilometers
Saturn: 116,460 kilometers
Uranus: 50,724 kilometers
Neptune: 49,244 kilometers
For a total of 380,011 km, so 4,000 km to spare!

- dkpk 3y agoGood point. The image doesn’t mention but the calculations do subtract radii of both Earth and the Moon.
