Optical identity despite very different models

The angular size of both the Sun and the Moon is 0.5°. The mere fact that these two so very different celestial bodies (in size and position) have almost exactly the same size for the observer is a highly improbable coincidence.

But what is truly astonishing is that the constancy of the angular size in the AC (in the Acentric Cosmos) results from the constant distance of the Sun and Moon to the Earth-bound observer, and that this constancy has a completely different explanation in the CC (Cellular Cosmos): The Sun approaches and recedes from the observer, and its angular size ought to increase and decrease accordingly. Due to the lens-like refraction of light, however, its disk enlarges when it is farther away, in such a way that its angular size remains constant.

The same applies to the Moon as to the Sun. It retains its constant angular size, regardless of whether it stands in opposition or conjunction to the Sun. For in the AC the Earth is the center of its orbital path, and in the CC it does not stand behind the Sun, but as the only planet in front of it.

With the remaining planets (Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn), however, we have an additional problem: their angular size shrinks drastically when they stand in near conjunction with the Sun (in exact conjunction they cannot be discerned because of the Sun's brightness). In the AC they then really stand in opposition to the Earth (the Sun is located between planet and Earth); in the CC they are located between the Sun and the firmament. In the AC it is clear that they are then located very far away (at least the diameter of the Earth's orbit lies between planet and observer), which effortlessly explains their drastically reduced size. In the CC one must assume an intensified bending of light caused by a perisolar aether gradient, which is why the diameter of the planetary disks shrinks.
