Why do the sun and moon appear the same size in the sky when the sun's diameter is four hundred times greater than the diameter of the moon?

When things are closer to you, they can appear larger than objects which are comparatively bigger, but further away from you.
Coincidentally, while the sun is about 400 times larger than the moon, it is also 400 times the distance away, meaning they look roughly the same size from here on earth.
