Several complicated theories involving the brain's visual system also try to explain the moon paradox. Here's a simplified version of one popular explanation: The brain perceives the sky (and Moon) above us as closer than the sky (and Moon) at the horizon. When an object is perceived to be nearer, the brain may compensate by making it look smaller to us. Likewise, an object thought to be farther away will be seen as larger.
