It actually should appear to be bigger on the horizon if you are viewing it behind other objects, Ponzo illusion. Anywho good stuff Lola.

I performed 2 experiments proving the sun and moon stay the same size.
The flock of seagulls theory claims through perspective the sun and moon get smaller as it approaches the horizon.
Our eyes through perspective will appear that they both get larger, exact oppoiste of the FAQ.
But in reality they do stay the same size.

Your conclusion is true.  So how do you think the sun gets further away without getting smaller?
