Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The moon illusion occurs when the moon appears larger on the horizon than it does higher in the sky. This effect can be enhanced by objects in the foreground that give the moon a reference point for size. The tall pine trees in the hills of North Georgia could provide this reference point, while the open prairie, flat desert, and open water would lack objects that could enhance the effect.
