Using wikipedia numbers I get that the sun is 389.17 times as far away as the moon. The sun is 400.67 times as big.
If they were significantly closer I would agree, but those numbers are far enough apart that it's just a coincidence and probably has no real implications.

C'mon you can find some data much more significantly closer if you just keep looking. Must try harder.

All the numbers have at least 6 decimal places. Unless the numbers are wrong, the answer can't be much closer than what I figured, unless I screwed up somewhere.
