ignoring actual size, what is the APPARENT size of the object from the same observers point of view, if they could "see" all the fainter magnitude stars which make it up?
thats what this shows. the arc of vision the moon covers, against the arc of vision the galaxy covers, for the same observer, if they are drawn "together"
its right there in the title. Apparent size, is about what things "appear" to be to you, the observer.
