So then how do objects get smaller when they move to the limits of our vision ,
Yet the sun does not (not to that degree anyway) when it is further away?
u have to understand there is 2 different terrestrial planes, the sky plane and the surface plane
we are living on the surface plane so everything is close because our eyes are seeing approx 1.5m (average adult height) above the ground. the perspective & convergence acts differently and basically human vision is limited to 3 miles (to the vanishing point)
the sky plane is another story with massive open/empty skies and no obtrusive objects blocking the observer. So a massive 32 mile circumference object (the sun) that is 3000 miles away has a different perspective. A passenger jet airplane is much smaller in comparison and will appear to converge and disappear before the sun does.
