Why nearer objects look bigger?

Because they are closer to your line of vision. . . imagine you are 10 meters away from an object. imagine you have these lines coming out of your eyes , and one of the lines touches the top edge of the object , and another line touches the bottom edge of the object. now imagine the object is 5 meters closer to you. the distance between the top edge and the bottom edge is greater because you are closer to the object. .. OK to make this simpler , -- your eye is like the top of a tweezers. you put a pen(object) between the tweezers. as you move the pen closer to the top of the tweezers , the two prongs widen, making a bigger distance, and from your viewing point at the top of the tweezers the object appears bigger.
