The sun is just a touch bigger than the moon...

the sun is usually smaller than the moon in subjective perspectivity.

# that's physics still, deary.
you're stuck in the physics. distance is objective.
in your mind's eye it appears smaller because it's further away. take away the "because" and it's just smaller. period. no logical reason left.
