Well, no one has come up with any maths to justify their thoughts/guesses/beliefs, so;
The distance from my eye to my fingers "holding a pea" is 710mm
The pea is 8mm, so the angle subtended is 0.65 degree
The cherry is 18mm, so the angle subtended is 1.45 degrees
The moon tonight is 399715 km away, and its diameter is 3474km, so the angle is 0.5 degree. (Starry Night)
So if you are holding a small pea, that's the answer, approximately.
I guessed at the cherry, so I was wrong, as are 52% of the guesses, but a cherry stone would be nearer the mark.
