Why Does The Moon Appear Larger Near The Horizon?

We have learnt that the green-house gases trap heat. And we have learnt that things expand when heated. So... when the moon is near the horizon, we see it through hot gases, hence it appears large. When it rises up, it is seen through colder layers of air, which make the image contract in size.

Also, Doc. Amit added... "Everyone starts the race in a big way... but later the steam wears off." Which also proves that the moon appears smaller due to loss of heat.

Smart, isn't it?
