I traced a line on the starting point

I wish I could demonstrate it, but I don’t really know how.

With your drawing tool

Yeah, I think this one needs to be more precise than I can do with that, lol

We both saw how bad my drawings are, lmao

Lmao

This image sort of gets at what I mean, even if it’s meant for something completely different:

Welp lol

One of those dotted line last cuts both circles in half

The one that gets close to the “X”

Yeah I see it

The red line shows the difference in where the edge of the circle is if the circle gets smaller

How are you relating it with the video? I’m trying to understand

As in, the lines you want to explain

Where you’d put the sun’s movement in that graphic?

To see if I get you

I’m trying to figure out how to rotate the stupid thing to show what I mean

You’re saying the “edge” of th small circle is always going to touch the red line even if it shrinks?

This might help, I redid the lines and added one that’s pretty important.

So, in this image, imagine that the circle is the sun, as we see it from earth. It’s basically a big circle.

The green line represents the surface of the ground, or horizon. You’ll have to mentally tilt the image to make it match a normal ground level perspective

The blue line represents a line at a right angle, perfectly perpendicular to the ground.

If I make a straight line perpendicular to the ground that touches the very edge of the sun’s circle, then as the sun gets smaller, it will pull away from that line.

Now, if we put a perpendicular line in the center of the circle, then as the sun’s circle gets smaller, both halves of the circle will be the same size as each other.

That line is the dotted line that gets close to the “X”,

The distance from the blue line I drew to the red line basically just shows how far from the original size edge the smaller circle will be.

As the circle gets smaller, that distance gets bigger, the red and blue lines are farther apart.

What it shows (or as I am trying to make it show), is that as the sun gets farther away, if it were to turn, then that middle line should be changing. It shouldn’t divide the sun as well as it does in that video.

I understood you, but I disagree with the part of “both halves will be the same size”

One is going to be greater

They won’t be the same size as the original, but both should get smaller at the same rate, and maintain the same size.

Alright, which one should be greater?

(Or could it be either one?)

I know what you mean, but what I’m saying is, as it shrinks, there will come a time where they “go out of the middle line”, because it “leaned” too much to a side.

Using the video, it say the left would get bigger

Correct

Well, correct to your first statement

When I put a line (granted it was a string so there’s a rather decent margin for error) through the middle of that sun, it looked like both halves were the Same size as the sun got smaller.

When I say “leaned”, it means it’s making the curve
