Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Distance cues make the moon on the horizon look larger because it appears farther away. This is known as the moon illusion, where the moon seems larger when it is near the horizon than when it is higher in the sky, partly because of the presence of visual references (such as trees, buildings, etc.) that provide a sense of scale and increase the perception of distance.
