Mercury is like 30-50 sun's diameters away from the sun. This perspective makes it look like it's almost touching.

Size scale matches though

Yeah this perspective is weird. It makes it look like the sun takes up 90% of the sky on mercury. That can’t be right though.

Almost 30 million miles closer to us than the sun is.

The sun is rather large.
