One child said, "I think the sun is closer to people when it first rises, and farther away when it is at its zenith."
One child said, "I think the sun is far away when it first rises, but close when it is at its zenith."
A child said, "When the sun first rises, it's as big as a car cover, but when it's at its highest point, it's as small as a bowl. Isn't it because those that are far away are small, and those that are near are big?"
One child said, "When the sun first rises, it's cool and icy, but at its zenith, it's like dipping into hot water. Isn't it because those who are close are hot, while those who are far away are cold?"
