I can measure the height of a building indirectly and be accurate

Why not the sun?

What makes it different

You dont know how to do geometry?

Are you asking me or him

The difference is obvious

Then it should be easy to explain

You're physically here on Earth with the building

The sun is out there on the mainstream model

There is no way to prove that it is actually the distance claimed

How does that change it

Does it change it mathematical lly

You cannot confirm the distance is what I'm saying

And?

You can be certain within a degree of precision

So it is an assumption

No

And cannot be proven

An assumption is not an estimate

This is an estimate

Sure

An estimate that can't be proven

An assumption has not basis

Their are three levels

Assumption, hypothesis, estimate

I don't wanna keep going lower and lower and getting off topic

Let me just ask you this

How is the sun's distance measured?

I know it's with math

But how?

And how far away is it?

According to the mainstream model (globe)

Using geomtry, mores specifically the AAS therom

And before you say it, a therom in math is essentially fact

And it's 1AU away

On average

@floridaswamptrash

How far is it?

1 AU

It stands for astronomical unti
