Welcome to http:/www.handsonuniverse.org/activities/Explorations/tactile-moonphases/

You may notice that some images appear larger or smaller than others.  The moon's orbit brings it sometimes as close as 55 Earth radii, and other times as far as 65 Earth radii.  What difference does distance make in the apparent size of our Moon?  Does the real size of the moon change?
