If I put my thumb out directly in front of my face at noon or right before sunset, the sun is the same relative size to my thumb. You can even try this yourself.
If the sun is as close as your model says it should be, the relative size should be drastically different. So, why not? Also, in the model you have shown, the sun would never “set”, but would disappear before it arrived at the horizon.

And don't forget, we're looking at an object above us moving away from us. We're not looking at something on the same level. It skews the vanishing point view that we see with objects on the same plane as ourselves (road/car, train/tracks).
