How is this possible with a distant sun?

I don't get the problem can you explain?

2019-01-02 00:04:27 UTC  

If the sun was 93 million miles away its brightness wouldn't change

2019-01-02 00:04:40 UTC  

Not that much

2019-01-02 00:20:47 UTC  

How do you know? just curious how you worked that out

2019-01-02 00:22:19 UTC  

From the extinction magnitude graph

2019-01-02 00:28:19 UTC  

nah i meant how do you know that that's impossible on a globe

2019-01-02 00:29:14 UTC  

Its just doesn't make sense to me if the earth was 93 million miles from the sun

2019-01-02 00:29:34 UTC  

Its just an interesting thing to look at

2019-01-02 00:30:22 UTC  

i think it's due to more atmosphere for light to pass through when its low in the sky

2019-01-02 00:30:25 UTC  

rather than the distance

2019-01-02 00:30:37 UTC  

Could be

2019-01-02 00:30:51 UTC  

So atmosphere blocks light?

2019-01-02 00:31:42 UTC  

yeah doesn't everyone agree on that?

2019-01-02 00:32:27 UTC  

So a totally clear atmosphere will block out the light from a sun 93 million miles away?

2019-01-02 00:32:44 UTC  

Whats blocking the light?

2019-01-02 00:33:05 UTC  

What in the atmosphere blocks the light?
