It is a purely psychological effect. When near the horizon, there are other objects in one's field of vision. With respect to these, the sun appears large. In the expanse of on empty sky, it appears small.
The sun rises in the East and sets in the West.
Mars is farther from the Sun than we are, so the Sun will appear to be smaller, not bigger. Mars is approximately 1.5 times the distance that we are from the Sun, so the Sun on Mars will only appear to be 44% the size as from Earth.
Shadows appear tallest in the morning because the sun is low on the horizon, casting longer shadows due to the angle of sunlight. As the day progresses, the sun rises higher, reducing the length of shadows.
A rainbow must always be in the opposite direction from you compared to the sun. So if you see a rainbow in the morning, its center would be in a generally westerly direction from you.
The sun looks bigger than stars because it is much closer to Earth compared to the stars. Stars are actually much larger than the sun, but their distance makes them appear smaller in the sky. The sun's brightness and proximity to Earth make it appear larger and more dominant.
Because moisture in the earth's atmosphere magnify the sun to make it appear bigger than it is. It's like looking at the sun through a very large magnifying glass.
it is visible because the earth is rotating, and in the morning, the earth is facing the sun
no
The sun rises in the East and sets in the West.
Because thats why! Because thats why!
Mars is farther from the Sun than we are, so the Sun will appear to be smaller, not bigger. Mars is approximately 1.5 times the distance that we are from the Sun, so the Sun on Mars will only appear to be 44% the size as from Earth.
Because the sun is closer to us than any other star NOTE: The sun is NOT bigger than any other star, they are all the same size.
The sun may appear bigger today due to an optical illusion called the "moon illusion." This occurs when the sun is closer to the horizon, making it seem larger compared to when it is higher in the sky.
Some of the stars you see in the night sky are in fact bigger than the sun. They only appear small because they are many times farther away than the sun.
Its the same phenomenon that the moon shares, where people believe it is larger or smaller from time to time. It is an illusion, they are not. They appear to be larger when closer to the horizon (morning for the sun) because it appears closer the ground, the trees and buildings around us, they appear closer and therefore larger. Up high, where is next to it to relate to, they appear further away, and therefore smaller.
Shadows appear tallest in the morning because the sun is low on the horizon, casting longer shadows due to the angle of sunlight. As the day progresses, the sun rises higher, reducing the length of shadows.
Because we are closer to the sun than to the stars. The sun is bigger than SOME stars. Stars can be all different sizes. Some stars are in fact smaller than our sun but not as small as they appear to be. On the other hand, some stars are hundreds even thousands times larger than the sun we see. They only look small because they are so far away.
