Ok

Yep

When the moon exactly covers the sun they will get the angles

K

How are the numbers different

How far apart are the two observers h

U decide

How about west coast of us and east coast

Ok

Say 2000 miles

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

Ok use them closer

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

The moon casts a shadow at least as big as the moon on earth right

Let’s not go down that road yet

Not the umbra

Let’s say 50 miles apart can they both be in totality then ?

Totality is about 70 miles wide

Ya for a small instant

Ok 70 miles do it

K

Then what

Do ur angles

K, they would get slightly different angles

Pretty small, so not a good separation

<:vcislit:507995456899514380>

The sun and moon are the same apparent size I don’t understand how measuring both from earth gets u different numbers to where it’s 92 million miles farther

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

Ok that tiny bit bigger equals 02 million extra miles ?

92 million ?

@jeremy that bigger, is completely unrelated to the angles

system is flawed? just say gravity lmao

Ok why don’t u explain to me why the angle doesn’t work with the sun again u said cause the suns too far away ?

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

But we r doing this to get the distance we don’t know it’s too far away yet

And the angles can't be measured accurately enough

We don’t know anything about the sun we are in a field with our theodolite
