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
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

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
