Merlin your statement makes no sense at all, this is the difference in size at
perigee and apogee, as you can see not a great difference.
What you seem to be saying is that the moon on the horizon is bigger because it’s closer to the earth, well if I’m at point A with the moon on the
horizon and somebody else is at point B 400 miles closer in a straight line to
the moon then the moon at point B will be well above the horizon, and by your reckoning smaller, so why does it look bigger to me at point A 😀
sorry but it’s like sky high and flygirl say, just an illusion.
