the moons size coincidence?

the amazing coincidence that the moon is exactly the right size to
exactly cover the sun about 6 times a decade to give us a spectacular
eclipse
seems almost to much to believe that it really is a coincidence,
but I cant think of anything in the evolution of the planets and the
creation of our moon
to suggest otherwise
