Reason for particular pattern of clouds near sun

Question

In this picture it is clear that there is a larger no. Of clouds near the sun as compared to a distance farther. Moreover the clouds seem to form vortex rings around sun.

why is there more density near the clouds , is it just an optical illusion.  If yes then what's the reason if no then why ?.

I'm not sure if this question suits this site so pls let me know if it doesnt

If the cloud density is constant, it seems denser near the horizon, because there are more clouds for the same angle of vision.
The fact that the sun is near the horizon turns clouds brighter in that region, what calls our attention.
