Earth's Moon is smaller than the Ganymede, Callisto, Titan and Io.

Diameter of Earth's moon: $3, 475 k m or 3, 475 \cdot 10^{3} m$ $3,475 km or 3,475 * 10^3 m$

Ganymede (Jupiter's Moon): $5, 262 k m or 5, 262 \cdot 10^{3} m$ $5,262 km or 5,262 * 10^3 m$

Titan (Saturn's Moon): $5, 150 k m or 5, 150 \cdot 10^{3} m$ $5,150 km or 5,150* 10^3 m$

Callitso (Jupiter's Moon): $4, 821 k m or 4, 821 \cdot 10^{3} m$ $4,821 km or 4,821 *10^3 m$

Io (Jupiter's Moon): $3, 643 k m or 3, 643 \cdot 10^{3} m$ $3,643 km or 3,643 * 10^3 m$
