Neither, the virtual image in all mirrors are the same distance aren't they? But if you mean, does it make it larger or smaller, then I'm pretty sure that it makes it larger :) or "magnified" is the technical term =P

Why are objects in a car mirror closer than they appear?
There is a plane mirror on the driver's side and a convex mirror on the passenger's side. The reason only the passenger mirror is convex is because you are farther away from it. The angular view provided by farther mirror of the same physical size produces a similarly smaller reflected field of view. The convex mirror provides a larger field of view- one that should be comparable to the closer drivers mirror.

Why are rear view mirrors in automobiles made of convex mirrors?

What types of images are produced by a concave mirror?
A concave mirror is dished in ward. A convex mirror domed. Both images will be distorted in size from actuality. A convex mirror will give a wider view of what you are looking at in the mirror. A concave mirror will compress and magnify the image being viewed.
Is a concave or convex mirror used for passenger side mirrors?

Why do car manufactures use convex mirror as driving mirror?
Convex mirror make small images and hence provide a wide view of what is happening behind your vehicle. Therefore, they are used as driving mirror.
How do images formed by a concave lens and convex mirror different?
Convex: Makes images smaller Concave: Makes images larger. Eventually as you take it away from the image it flips the image.
What are convex mirrors and how images look in it?
A convex surface means bulging out surface. A convex mirror is that spherical mirror in whichthe reflection of light takes place at the bulging out surface.A spherical mirror which is polished from hollow side, such that its reflecting surface is towards outer sideis called convex mirror. Example:-spoon
What type of image is formed in a mirror?
Different mirrors form different types of images. A convex mirror forms smaller, upright, and virtual images. They are also located behind the mirror.
