Our moon is only the largest moon to planet ratio in our solar system if you discount Pluto as a planet.
Fun fact: if Luna was only about 30% heavier than it is currently, the Earth's barycenter would lie outside of Earth, which would potentially make Earth not count as a planet by the modern IAU definition.
