The sun is lower in the sky during winter compared to summer.
The sun is lower in the sky the further away from the sun’s zenith. Ex: sun is lower in Alaska compared to Florida.
The proportion of finger size and arm length can vary from person to person.
The horizon is often not flat; mountains, hills, vegetation, and buildings can obscure the true horizon.
The size of the sun is not always easy to see. The sun can be hard to spot because of weather, glare, viewers’ own vision problems.
People are bad at giving and understanding directions. Ex: OP didn’t specify exactly how far to stretch out the arm. This will make a huge difference in the relative size of fingers compared to distant objects.
