If you are talking about the pic where the video ends, I do not see what you see.

The Sun is not below the horizon, what you see above the Sun is a roll cloud.

The dark line below the Sun is the horizon.

You see the Sun between the horizon and a roll cloud.

Type in roll cloud to your search engine, press the images link.

The Sun looks close because you are able to actually look at it. When the Sun is at the horizon, you are looking at the Sun through aprox 200 miles of the Earth's atmosphere, the densest portion of the atmosphere.

The atmosphere above your head is 7 - 10 miles thick. All of our oxygen and nitrogen exists in the few miles closest to the Earth. This acts as a filter and allows you to look at the Sun directly when it is on the horizon.

As the Sun rises and gets directly overhead, the filtering effect is reduced because you are no longer looking at the Sun through 200 miles of atmosphere, only 7 - 10 miles of atmosphere. At high noon, you cannot look at without it burning your eyes.
