I HAVE always thought that the accepted explanation of the apparent enlargement of the sun, moon and constellations near the horizon was that we look on the sky as a very shallow inverted bowl, and therefore look on the horizon as very much farther off than the zenith. The sun having the same angular diameter wherever it is seems a larger body when on the horizon because we apprehend it as being much farther off than when in a high altitude.
