so 2 people on earth can calculate the distance to the sun right through the trig probelm ?

Yeah sure

and do u think the trig problem to find the distance to the moon uses different numbers

mic drop

Sorry what

Anyway I have a source which explains this in better depth than I can

https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/review/dr-marc-solar-system/planet-distances.html

I would advise reading it

I know there's better ones out there with more detail but I'll have to look later

You can essentially calculate distances using angle-side equations and ratios

The trig problem 2 people use to find the distance to the sun and the trig problem 2 people use to find the distance to the moon use the same number

Same number of what?

Same numbers for the distance to the sun and moon

Nah they dont

That would mean that the moon is the same distance from the earth as the sun is

Yeah they do u should learn how it works

Sun and moon are same apparent size in the sky

Yep

But one is smaller and closer, while the other is bigger and farther away

Like how if you look at a man standing on a hill with a scyscraper in the background, they may look similar in height.

Well the trig problem gives u the same distance for sun and moon

No it doesn't

Look it up

Look up what? "Does the trig problem give the same number for the sun and moon"?

U should get a friend and do it

U should get a friend and do it

hmm

are you saying that the sun is the same distance and size as the moon

That would take days because you have to consider moon phases and orbit speed relative to the earth

That’s not how it works

Also if the sun was the same size as the moon, the the earth wouldn't orbit around the sun. It would be torn and stretched between the sun and moon until both eventually collide.

That's not even taking into account other planets

@jeremy I gave that gravity debate a thought last night. Density is mass divided by volume, so in that sense density has something to do with gravity, but not without mass and volume. You say it's density and buoyancy that makes things drop and things try to find equilibrium because of electromagnetism right?

I'd say it's mass attracting mass because of gravity

I can't prove gravity to you right now, you can't prove that electromagnetism makes things fall, so it's a zero sum game

What did I walk into

One thing I still wonder is does size play a role in flat earth "gravity"

@ipmancombo Just talking about gravity, continuation to yesterdays discussion

But Jeremy is not here so a monologue 😂

i dont say its density and bouyancy only
