Virgo | @xenoid there is such a thing - it gives rise to mirages and can slightly distort the shape of the sun and moon when they are very close to the horizon. Some photos from the ISS show quite strong distortion to the shape of the moon, since the effect is stronger from that angle. However, although it slightly affects the shape of the moon when it's near the horizon, it doesn't affect its apparent size in any appreciable way. | |

| Oct 28, 2018 at 22:45 | comment | added | Muze | @xenoid do you think the lensing effect of Earth atmosphere would make the moon appear bigger then if Earth had no atmosphere? | |
| Oct 28, 2018 at 22:34 | comment | added | xenoid | The Earth is 4 times bigger than the Moon. Seen from the moon it has the same angular size as the width of two fingers held at arm's length. | |
