English: Comparison of angular diameter of the Sun, Moon and planets with the International Space Station (as seen from the surface of the Earth), the 20/20 row of the Snellen eye chart at the proper viewing distance and typical human visual acuity. The dotted circles represent the minimum angular size (when the celestial bodies are farthest ...
