Here's why:
* Distance: The planets in our solar system are at varying distances from the Sun, and all are significantly farther away from Earth than the Sun.
* Perspective: Our perception of size is influenced by distance. The farther an object is, the smaller it appears.
* Angular Size: Even though some planets are actually quite large (like Jupiter), their vast distances mean they appear small in the sky.
This is similar to how a car in the distance looks small, but as it gets closer, it appears much larger.
