Why does the moon appear to be different size?

The Moon's orbit is elliptical; it can be as near to Earth as 240,000 miles and as far as 280,000 miles. Near the horizon, there are atmospheric illusions that make the Moon appear to be larger than it is. The more "full" the Moon is, the bigger it appears to be. When these factors are combined, at the time of the perigee full moon, the Moon can be objectively about 15% larger than normal, and the illusion at Moonrise can make the Moon appear to be enormous. The moon looks different sizes at different times due to the distance apart it is from earth. The further away the moon is from earth the smaller it will look. The closer to earth it is the bigger it will look.


Why does the moon look big sometimes in the night sky?

When it is close to horizon why does the moon sometimes appear larger?

This is a well-known optical illusion which is most likely caused by the relative sizes of objects surrounding the Moon. Clouds and buildings appear smaller near the horizon, which makes the Moon look much larger in comparison. When the Moon is high in the sky, clouds and perhaps buildings around it are much closer to you, which makes the Moon look smaller in comparison.
