Why does the sun look so small but it is really large?
The sun appears small from Earth due to its vast distance, approximately 93 million miles away. Despite being about 1.4 million kilometers in diameter, this immense size is diminished in our perception because of the vastness of space. Additionally, our eyes perceive objects based on their angular size, and the sun takes up a relatively small angle in our field of vision compared to its actual size. Thus, while it looks small, the sun is actually a massive celestial body.
