MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

The sun and the moon look to be the same size, but we know that the radius of the sun is 696,000 kilometers while the moon has a mean radius of only 1,737.5 kilometers. Why do they appear to be the same size?

It's due to the relative distances and sizes of the sun and moon.

The sun and moon are the same size because they are both spherical.
The moon reflects sunlight, making it seem larger than it is.
The sun appears smaller due to atmospheric distortion.
