Question: Why is the moon going to look larger tonight!?
Answers:
The so-called "moon illusion" or "moon effect" has perplexed people since earliest historical times, at least as early as the 7th century BCE!. It is described in early Greek and Chinese writings!. Aristotle mentions it in 350 BCE!.
The moon seems larger in angular size when it is near the horizon than when it is high in the sky!. Some people judge it to be as much as twice as large, but the average estimate is 50% to 75% larger!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
