What the Sun looks like from the other planets

RE: What the Sun looks like from the other planets
I wish they did some of the moons i would love to see the sun from Europa.

Europa sounds terrifying

Saturn in particular seems to have a much smaller sun than Pluto (to be fair, they're trying to put the rings in there, which will mess with the perspective, but that doesn't explain why it looks bigger from Neptune than Uranus, or their moons, but whatever, the point still stands because there's no way the orbits of Ariel and Triton overlap enough to make the illusion make sense), and why the fuck does it look like the view from a plane around Saturn's rings?
I think the view from Saturn is just for dramatic effect.I agree about the sun it's inconsistent in size and yes Ariel and Triton could never overlap like that i just put that off to artist license. These are far from perfect but better then many others i have seen .
