Ciao

lol

Good luck with this dude

its an opinion the stars are light years away

its not fact

Apparently his opinions is more important than proven facts.

they will tell u its a fact but its not

Apparently so

what a proven fact merric

Is your opinion that it's not possible to are 300 light years away based on facts?

well the distance to polaris is not a fact

if u think it is a fact then thats on you

i dont think we can see 300 light years because of perspective

People found its distance from earth using advanced trigonometry

right

And "because of perspective" doesn't make any sense

do u know what happens if u do a trig problem to find the distance of the sun

You find the distance to the sun

That's what happens

well the farther out we see the more condensed it is eventually things so far away are condensed into a space that is too small to see anything through

That's why we use telescopes

ok ur about to do a trig problem u got 2 people on earth and the angle to the sun right

thats how u do the trig problem to find the distance to the sun right

Not necessarily, since the earth surface is rounded, which would create an imperfect triangle

But close

they factor int he curvature of earth for the trig problem i know

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
