Ask Ellen: Why does the sun look bigger on the horizon?

Katherine asks, "I saw that the sun at sunset looked much larger than usual. Why does the sunset sometimes look so much closer than usual?" (March 2, 2023)

Oh Hey guys… saw those two lights last night and thought it was a ufo! Started driving towards it, called everyone I knew in the world and then found out it was planets! I would have been driving all night😂

Optical Illusion 😴

no way! If you measure how big the moon appears at the horizen and then measure how big it appears to be up over head...the measurments are different. ❤

Well your measurements are based on assumptions and not reality. Science experiments are all models based on assumptions and not reality.
