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
We try it and find that the distance is large, and we don't know it precisely, with that method
How’s it differ from the moon angles
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
Sorry I’m not understanding
What goes wrong when we measure the angles to the sun
We barely see any angle change from one location to the next
I assume the "Truther" role means you are a flat earther?
Kinda like if your looking at a mountain far away, and walk 3 ft to the right, it's still in front of you
Why does it work with the moon then
the earth is a malteser
Okay, you are talking about the angular diameter?
if the earth is flat explain to me how trees exist
I don’t understand how this would work with the moon and not the sun as they are the same size
The earth is flat
just look at the evidence
Sure
Lemme build myself a rocket
if the earth is flat how come we never hear about them pilots who fell off the map
And check mywelf
**several ppl are typing*
When a full moon is out, measure the angular diameter of the moon while you're standing at the equator. Then go to CANADA or some place far north and measure the angular diameter of the full moon. Compare the two?
the earth isnt flat bro
