It’s the same as the moon

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

If u did the measurement to the moon with ur angles and the sun u get the same number

No they're different

Indicating the moon is much closer

Ok let’s take this nice and slow

2 people on earth solar eclipse

Ya I think you're missing something

Hang on a sec

2 people on earth solar eclipse at totality they are gonna check the angles and come up with the same number

I don't understand what "angles" we're talking about here

@jeremy ya that makes no sense

What angle are you talking about

How would u get different numbers

Diff numbers for what

Ok let’s go nice and slow

You aren't explaining your idea properly

We are gonna. Measure the distance to the moon and sun using this angle thing during a solar eclipse

K

Unfollow sonfar

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
