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
could it be static electricity ? their is 100 volts int he air per meter
hmmm
i doubt it because
some things are without electric charge and shown to have gravitational field
The weight of an object is defined as the force of gravity on the object and may be calculated as the mass times the acceleration of gravity, w = mg. Since the weight is a force, its SI unit is the newton.
idk
so a helium filled balloon has no mass becuase it weighs nothing
?
a helium ballon put it on a scale it weighs nothing
it has zero weight
