Knowing about the effects of the perceived distance of objects on their perceived size can help us understand the moon illusion.
<h3>What is the moon illusion?</h3>
The moon illusion refers to an optical illusion in which the Moon looks bigger when it's rising or setting and smaller when it is high in the sky. Photographs have proven that the Moon is the same width near the horizon as when it's high in the sky. However, that isn't what we perceive with our eyes. Therefore, it's an illusion that is rooted in the way our brains process visual information.
Many different explanations were offered for this immensely powerful real-world illusion over the centuries. Today, the explanation for this illusion is still debated.
