Excellent point. The Greeks and Romans knew the size and distance of the Moon to a fair standard of accuracy, something many Islamos do not accept to this day. One Hipparchus of Rhodes determined this in the second century BC by a brilliant piece of observation and deduction that is explained on this website. His figures were within 2% of currently accepted values. He also tried to determine the distance to the Sun, but we now know that this was hopeless with the knowledge and instruments (mostly notched sticks) at his disposal.
