Anything which is part of the normal landscape or sky (trees, hills, birds,clouds, planes) usually looks smaller when they're near the horizon. The reason for this is simple: stuff near the horizon is generally more distant. Just take trees in the landscape, or a road disappearing in the distance as an example. Because of this our brain knows and expects that objects at or near the horizon appear particularly small compared to their true life size.

Why does dew appear in early morning and not at noon?
the air capacity for holding water depends on temp'. the warmer it is the more water vapour it can hold. during the night air temp' drops to its lowest near dawn at which point the amout of water vapour in the air may exceed its reduced capacity (this point is called the dew point) and water vapour condences and forms dew.
