there are 2 types of terrestrial planes, the surface plane and the sky plane.....we are very close to the surface plane ofc (cos we live on it)
our human eyes try to fit both planes into something we can work with in a 3D view, this requires converging many objects we see and presenting it with a certain perspective that is necessary.
objects on the surface plane need less convergence because we are closer to them, but objects in the sky plane require greater convergence due to the larger mass or volume area that needs to be compressed into our limited human vision.
so that 3 bedroom house that is 3 miles away on the surface plane, will become bigger as we get closer to it. but objects in the sky plane have a different level of convergence and perspective, so they will not appear to get bigger depending on many variables.
I think you meant smaller there
Thats now contradicting the laws of convergence since objects in the sky are further away so should converge more than objects on the ground.
The sun appears small due to the distance you said.
Yet when it moves a further distance away it does not appear to get smaller
If I kick a soccer ball across the field high it appears smaller as it flies and lands on the other side of the field
Now other than the distance, size and the fact the sun obv doesn't land, whats the difference?
