Why the Moon Appears Larger Near the Horizon
Is the Moon Really Bigger Near the Horizon? The short answer is no. The Moon’s physical size does not change during the night. In fact, when the Moon is near the horizon, it is actually slightly farther away from you than when it is overhead. That’s because when it’s overhead, you are about one Earth radius (roughly 6,371 kilometers) closer to it than when it’s on the horizon.
