Proof of illusion:

What makes the Moon appear larger near the horizon?
 A popular belief, stretching back at least to Aristotle in the 4th century BC, holds that the Moon appears larger near the horizon due to real magnification effects caused by the Earth’s atmosphere. Although the atmosphere does change the perceived colour of the Moon, it does not magnify it. In fact, the Moon is about 1.5% smaller when it is near the horizon than when it is high in the sky, because it is further away by up to one Earth radius and also because of atmospheric refraction, which makes the image of the Moon slightly smaller in the vertical axis.  Dichotomy – division into two parts, kinds, etc. — day & night, violence & non-violence, sunrise & sunset,  etc.  War is a result of division; it is not the cause of division.  When it comes to conflict and resolve, the important thing to remember is not that one is less significant than the other; the adherence here is that neither of these things are independent of circumstantial evidence.  In reality, the sun appears to rise; but actually the Earth is orbiting the Sun.  Why then do we continuously try to resolve problems from a state of division?  
Where is the dividing line or as mentioned at the beginning of the post; What makes the Moon appear larger near the horizon?
