Part 7/10:
The Moon Illusion and Angular Size
A common misconception addressed in the video is the so-called "Moon Illusion," where the Moon appears larger near the horizon. Flat Earthers often interpret this as evidence that the Moon changes size dramatically. However, scientific studies show that its angular size remains constant; the illusion arises from psychological factors that distort perception. Measuring the Moon's size with photographs or by holding a coin at arm's length confirms that its size does not vary significantly in the sky.
