because it acts like a magnifying glass
It has more detail.
The water becomes a refractor.
diverging lens
The best observation of refraction of light is by observing objects that are in water. By observing objects that are in water, the objects usually appear as if they are not straight.

refraction of light
Refraction of light
The light rays from the submerged part of the objects are bent when they cross the water-air interface.

When looking at objects in water they appear distorted. this is due to the ripples and reflections in the water.
Water bends or refracts light, not only do things look bigger they are not where they appear to be.
I believe the objects are what they appear to be, but not where they appear to be. This is due to the bending (refraction) of light waves as they travel through the water. The light coming to your eyes from the objects must pass through water, and then transition to air. The angle at which the light hits the boundary between the air and water determines how much the beam is bent. If you look straight down at an object in the water, it will appear to be in the correct place and orientation, but any other angle change the light, and therefore distorts the image.
