Relax. The sun is visibly the same size as the moon. That's how we get solar eclipses. When there is nothing to compare it to (high overhead), it looks small. When there is some terrestrial feature to compare it to (mountain profile, island) it looks large. The moon has the same effect.
I'm reminded of this exchange from "Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2":
"He was a one inch tall man! Or maybe he was just far away."
"Yes Rocket, that's how vision works!"

At least we have one thing in common that the sun and moon are the same size.
No. They have the same angular diameter from the viewer, but are vastly different in size.
