The principle of size-distance invariance suggests that our perceptions of an object's size remain constant even as the distance from us changes, because we adjust our perception of the object's size based on its perceived distance. This means that if we perceive an object to be far away, we will also perceive it as being larger to maintain size constancy, even though its image on our retina is smaller than if it were closer.
