Rule of thirds?
Divide the page into 3 horizontal sections. Background;
- right in the distance, everything is very faint and such. Midground;
- not right in front of you, not in the distance either, in between. Foreground;
- right up close, as if you were standing right behind what ever object it is. I'd imagine good shading over the piece would help alot aswell.
perspective?
linear perspective
No, eyes do not make objects smaller. The image of an object on the retina is smaller than the object itself.

They appear to seem smaller the further away they are,and bigger the closer they get.
The Mona Lisa, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci, is an oil painting on poplar wood. The painting is 77cm x 53cm, or 31 inches x 21 inches. See the related link below. 76.8 × 53.0 cm, ( = 30.2 × 20.9 in)
linear perspective. Hope that help! :)
Perspective allowed the artists to create images that looked real. Artists were able to construct an image that appeared to have depth, meaning that is it did like look flat on the canvas. The technique of making objects in the background smaller than the objects in the foreground generates a realistic, lifelike look within the painting. This led to the beginning and growth of realistic artwork during the Renaissance.
Objects that are far away appear smaller than they really are.
Sometimes this is to show distance between the two objects. Objects in the background are smaller than the objects in the foreground. The reason could also be symbolic. The artist may have wanted to show the larger object's power over the smaller object. The size could also symbolize the level of importance of the objects.
The smaller objects which are built to represent the larger objects are called Model
The use of perspective, or depth, in the paintings. Instead of paintings being all flat and without real proportion, they began making objects in the back of the painting much smaller and objects in the front larger.
Objects that are smaller than planets are called "dwarf planets"; even smaller objects are called "asteroids".
The smallest objects in quantum physics are "strings" which are 10^-35m in size which is comparable to the Plank length. At this size nothing is flat, measureable or quantifiable. Nothing can be measured smaller than this by any technique currently in use OR will ever be invented in the future... unless a new form of maths and physics is invented which alters our current perception of the very small...
because they are smaller than larger objects
no
because the cliff is getting smaller
Moons.
Asteroids are objects smaller then planets that orbit the Sun. Meteorites are (usually) smaller objects that enter the atmosphere and reach the ground.
