File:Comparison angular diameter.svg
Summary
Comparison of angular diameter of the Sun, Moon and planets with the International Space Station and human visual acuity. To get a true representation of the sizes, view the image at a distance of 102.6 <img src="https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/94bf5aac24c815b8038c2bc9304749072c81a9ee" class="mwe-math-fallback-image-inline" aria-hidden="true" style="vertical-align: -2.505ex; width:19.689ex; height:6.176ex;" alt="{\begin{bmatrix}={\tfrac {1}{\tan {\big (}{\tfrac {33.5}{60}}\times {\tfrac {\pi }{180}}{\big )}}}\end{bmatrix}}"> times the width of the largest (Moon: max.) circle. For example, if this circle is 10 cm wide on your monitor, view it from 10.26 m away.
