There’s only a couple theories as to why we perceive the moon’s size differently and the best one is context/contrast with the moon’s surroundings in our visual field. Pretty sure there’s a wiki article about it. Not settled science yet either. Remember going down a rabbit hole about that a couple years ago. Neat stuff.
In GTA Vice City, the moon changes size if you shoot it with a sniper rifle.
the reason for this is kinda funny
Some say those artists are still bickering about it to this day
