The curvature of Earth's atmosphere makes the Moon look closer, right?
But isn't this a little too close?

6. Ah, no, you see that's a full moon
and when the moon is full it's heavier, so it's hanging lower in the sky.

Just let me know if there's anything else you'd like cleared up.

7. Nope. It is actually the moon's proximity (in line of sight) to the
Horizon. It is an optical illusion.

OK, so I am a geek at times.
