Actually quite an interesting question though, the moon and the sun looking almost exactly the same size to us with the latter being 400 times larger but also 400 times further away does seem like a stunning coincidence.


Do they actually look the same size though. I mean the moon literally looks a different size every time I see itActually quite an interesting question though, the moon and the sun looking almost exactly the same size to us with the latter being 400 times larger but also 400 times further away does seem like a stunning coincidence.

Its an optical illusion that the moon looks larger when its close to the horizon, it doesnt actually change in size.
The obvious proof is that when you get a full solar eclipse it always looks the same, it always just covers the main body of the sun and lets us see the corona.

No, that's an illusion depending of where it is, on the horizon it makes it look bigger. The apparent size of the moon hardly change even the so called "giant moon" are only like 10% bigger.Do they actually look the same size though.
