Sun and moon are same apparent size in the sky

2019-05-15 01:02:10 UTC  

Yep

2019-05-15 01:02:24 UTC  

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

2019-05-15 01:02:58 UTC  

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

2019-05-15 01:03:07 UTC  

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

2019-05-15 01:03:15 UTC  

No it doesn't

2019-05-15 01:03:19 UTC  

Look it up

2019-05-15 01:03:44 UTC  

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

2019-05-15 01:06:13 UTC  

U should get a friend and do it

2019-05-15 01:06:14 UTC  

U should get a friend and do it

2019-05-15 01:06:40 UTC  

hmm

2019-05-15 01:06:55 UTC  

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

2019-05-15 01:07:08 UTC  

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

2019-05-15 01:07:27 UTC  

That’s not how it works

2019-05-15 01:08:38 UTC  

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.

2019-05-15 01:08:49 UTC  

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?

2019-05-15 06:01:27 UTC  

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

2019-05-15 06:02:29 UTC  

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

2019-05-15 06:03:35 UTC  

What did I walk into

2019-05-15 06:03:58 UTC  

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

2019-05-15 06:04:52 UTC  

@ipmancombo Just talking about gravity, continuation to yesterdays discussion

2019-05-15 06:05:21 UTC  

But Jeremy is not here so a monologue 😂

2019-05-15 11:38:32 UTC  

i dont say its density and bouyancy only

2019-05-15 11:46:22 UTC  

could it be static electricity ? their is 100 volts int he air per meter

2019-05-15 11:51:27 UTC  

hmmm

2019-05-15 11:51:33 UTC  

i doubt it because

2019-05-15 11:51:49 UTC  

some things are without electric charge and shown to have gravitational field

2019-05-15 11:58:26 UTC  

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.

2019-05-15 11:59:26 UTC  

idk

2019-05-15 11:59:43 UTC  

so a helium filled balloon has no mass becuase it weighs nothing

2019-05-15 11:59:51 UTC  

?

2019-05-15 12:00:13 UTC  

a helium ballon put it on a scale it weighs nothing

2019-05-15 12:00:25 UTC  

it has zero weight

2019-05-15 12:57:40 UTC  

whats the formula for mass

2019-05-15 13:03:22 UTC  

first step is find density

2019-05-15 13:06:23 UTC  

so you cant find desnity without knowing mass but u cant find mass without knowing the density. hmmmmmm

2019-05-15 14:04:05 UTC  

Helium still has weight, a filled helium tank weighs more than an empty one

2019-05-15 14:04:27 UTC  

Weight is the downward force, but it becomes slightly harder to measure if there's a big upward force acting on it as well
