Bad Astronomy answers Why does the Moon look so huge on the horizon? "So the Moon Illusion is just that. It’s not the air acting like a lens, or foreground objects making it look big by comparison. It’s just the way we see the shape of the sky together with the well-known Ponzo Illusion." There are some nice images on the page. I knew it was an optical illusion but I didn't know the details.
