That’s true

That’s how we got the first estimes

Estimates

if you actually want an accurate one you would atleast want to know the size of the sun

But science claims to have that information

they can claim all they want

they have no proof

Well of course

They have evidence

nope

i dont believe the sun is 400 times further and larger than the moon

they look similiar and close to me

idc what math nasa did

my eyes wont be deceived again

If you don’t care about contrary evidence then you’re not really a rational person, would you agree?

‘my eyes won’t be deceived again’ sounds like you don’t care whatever evidence contrary to your position the future holds

they use some weird technology to measure something so hard

that can be extremely inaccurate

They use the distance between planets to get the earth sun distance

and as i said the trigonometric model is flawed becuase the distance has constantly changed

doesnt matter they cant measure the distance to the planet

Bouncing a laser off of a planet/asteroid and waiting for it to return for an accurate distance

Why not?

People can’t fire a laser to an object, wait for it to return, and calculate a distance?

its not a laser

where does it say laser maybe i missed it

Ah

Not laser my bad

Radar signal is the term they use

just like using radiometric data to measure old fossils is extremely inaccurate

But lasers are used for objects like the moon

what makes you think radio waves will measure distance of such far objects accurately

But that’s besides the point for interplanetary objects

Because they’ve produced accurate results?

how can you test that?

you cant

know for sure

I’m of the belief that can’t know anything for certain

BUT

You can use the radar measuring to measure the distance of a planet like mars when it’s on the other side of the sun and when it’s close
