A nice rule of thumb is that the human thumb held at arm's length subtends about 1~degree. The moon is half as wide as my thumb, so we'll use $\theta_m \approx 0.5$~degrees. Using the skinny angle rule, $R_m = \theta_m a_m$. There are $2 \pi$ radians for every 360 degrees, so $0.5~{\rm degrees} = 8.3\times10^{-3}$~radians.   \begin{equation}  R_m = 3.2\times 10^8$~cm 10^8~{\rm cm}  \end{equation}  Did you catch that mistake of mine? The angular size of the Moon corresponds to its {\it diameter}, not it's radius. Thus  \begin{equation}  R_m = 1.6\times 10^8$~cm 10^8~{\rm cm}  \end{equation}  A more precise estimate is $1.7374\times10^8$~cm.
