Called telescopic lenses... The sun isn´t bigger. The sun in Iraq would look just the same as it does at home if you had been there to see it.

All those pictures were taken with a telephoto lens. The Sun actually looks the same size from everywhere in the world.

it looks like, especially with the Daytime picture that you have a lot of haze in that location. Which would explain the huge ball effect.

Those photos are at a relatively large image scale (magnification) making the sun look bigger.

The tilt of the Earth's axis is towards the sun in the northern hemisphere. During the winter months, the effect will be the opposite.

... Or because of bombing, our brain seems to exaggerate upon everything that seems to emit light or heat...
