@jeremy simple geometry

@jeremy for the sun it doesn't work bc the angles change is too small

For the moon yes it works. We can measure it's parallax from diff places on the earth

Dunno what that would do, no matter what we see the apparent position of every object

That's just a give

Moons distance

The measured distance between the locations

That's what's used

Are they?

Because we have total solar eclipse and partial solar eclipses

Seems the moon changes size a bit

Turns out it changes by 14%

Close to the same size

It not exactly

Within about 7%

Yep

And inclined

So take the cosine of that

@jeremy they're close but not quite the same

Again about 7% . If you call that the same ok, but I don't

Yes

Within 7%

Well could be up to 14% diff really

@SunRazor ha I dunno, I think it's diameter?

@jeremy k

Right

Be cause it's further away

The angle change is too small to measure

Ya and with a large enough distance this method is too inaccurate

Ya but the angle change we get when we do this on the moon is a number much large than the uncertainty in our instrument

No they're different

Indicating the moon is much closer

Ya I think you're missing something

@jeremy ya that makes no sense

What angle are you talking about

Diff numbers for what

You aren't explaining your idea properly

K

Yep

K

How far apart are the two observers h

How about west coast of us and east coast

Say 2000 miles

Well then. When one is in totality the other is not, and will see the sun partially covered

K let's put them right on top of each other

Not the umbra

Totality is about 70 miles wide

Ya for a small instant

K

Then what

K, they would get slightly different angles

Pretty small, so not a good separation

During a total solar eclipse the moon is slightly larger than the sun, that's why totality is like 2 minutes long

Or maybe more

@jeremy that bigger, is completely unrelated to the angles

Right, when you try this method on the sun, it appears to be so far away compared to the base of any two oberver leg

And the angles can't be measured accurately enough

We try it and find that the distance is large, and we don't know it precisely, with that method

Right, but this method can tell you it's too far for the method to give a good value

Because the angles we get when we do this on the moon are laregly different

When observers are far apart

We barely see any angle change from one location to the next

Kinda like if your looking at a mountain far away, and walk 3 ft to the right, it's still in front of you

@jeremy

@SunRazor that would work but it'd be really small

@jeremy we fixed you misunderstanding of the scientific method yesterday

@jeremy when you observe the moon and the sun, from two differt places on earth, the angle to the moon changes way more than it does for the sun

These guys try so hard to deny reality to make the flat Earth fit

Anything that contradictted their view is deemed fake

@H8mz88 that would yield inaccurate distances between places

Howndo you propose to measure it

@RidleyChozo doubt

Is that true?

Granite surface plates

Are those labels correct?

@RidleyChozo is the caption on that image accurate?

Ok so what if I post an image of a spherical earth with a caption, and call it accurate

Did you verify the claims in those captions

Photos and video can be faked, but even more easily can text on a picture

@oƃǝW is right

Was robotham telling the truth?

I dunno. The sphere maps give accurate headings distances and locations

I say that Trump's these suspicious flat Earth "experiments"

Seems like the atmosphere disturbs light

Does that mean any laser test done by flat Earthers needs to be thrown out

K what would that prove, when we know the atmosphere messes with light

Non sequitur

I can see laser light from a source when standing behind it

Or you just see it shining, like lights from a city far away

Without seeing the bldgs themselves

Nor a concave one

No concave map accurately does distances

I answered you in the other room did you see that

@jeremy here I'll try again

Stand somewhere right under the moon.

Call that angle of 0 bc it's right over head

Now move east 3000 miles, and point at the middle of the moon, measure the angle from overhead

Do the same with the sun

The angles that you get for the sun are like zero, but for the moon they're larger

Can be done any time
