Why do the sun and the moon appear the same size as we see them from earth?
Because the Moon is much closer to the Earth than the Sun is. The moon is only about 240,000 miles from Earth, while the Sun is an average of 93,000,000 miles away. Hold your thumb up to a large object, like a house, and walk away until the object is hidden by your thumb. Then start walking toward the object again and see what happens.
