Question

Charlie sees two cars that are the same size. One car is close to him; it looks very large. The second car is far away; it looks small. Explain how Charlie’s observation of the cars is like how people see the sun and stars.

Answer 1

Explanation:

When things are closer to you, they take up more of your field of view, so they seem bigger. When they're further away, they take up less of your field of view, and so seem smaller. One way to measure our field of view is to use an angle. An angle is a measure of how much something turns, and it's measured in degrees.
