Abstract: | The phenomenon of the enlarged appearance of the sun and the moon at the horizon is attributed to the long distance realized by the vision with the help of a perspective view. The shrunken view of these objects when overhead has been traced to the limitation of binocular vision in the absence of perspective. |
