Original Note:
The sun and the moon appear to be the same size because of the distance between us, the moon, and the sun. The orbit of the moon can also alter the amount of light that comes through, creating an annular eclipse and appearing to be two different sizes. https://www.usgs.gov/news/featured-story/solar-eclipse-and-our-place-space#:~:text=Total%20solar%20eclipses%20occur%20thanks,same%20size%20in%20the%20sky.
