    And yet a 10% increase in the moons actual circumference would be a change of more than 1,000km.

    Idk it’s a well known illusion that the moon can appear or “feel” bigger than it actually is when measured. Planetariums apparently project it larger (1degree instead of 0.5) in order to seem appropriate.
