Why do objects that are distant and moving appear to be moving slowly than the objects that are close?
Our brain uses a combination of visual cues, such as relative size, motion parallax, and depth perception, to perceive far objects that are in motion. These cues help our brain determine the distance and speed of the object and create a sense of depth and movement.
This phenomenon is known as motion parallax. It occurs because our brain interprets the relative motion of objects based on their distance from us. Far objects appear to move slower because they cover less distance in our visual field compared to nearby objects.
When an object is in motion, our brain receives continuous streams of visual information. This allows us to perceive the object's speed and direction. In contrast, when an object is stationary, our brain receives static visual information, and we rely more on other cues, such as size and shape, to perceive the object.
Yes, our perception of far objects in motion can be influenced by factors such as lighting, weather conditions, and the presence of other objects in the environment. For example, objects may appear to move faster in dim lighting compared to bright lighting.
As we age, our visual system undergoes changes, such as a decrease in visual acuity and depth perception. These changes can affect our ability to perceive far objects in motion accurately. Additionally, older individuals may have a slower processing speed, which can also impact their perception of moving objects.
