Im speaking of the observation of the moon itself. It never changes face. It rises to your left (or right) then sets to your right (or left). If the observer is on a ball and the moon was a sphere then you would see the sides of the moon

again

what is tidal locking?

And parts of the back at times

Again. Are we on a globe and is the moon a sphere?

hang on

what is the orbital period of the moon?

or the proposed period?

Tidal locking doesnt explain that

so here is the thing

over the course of a night, the moon does not move much

you do

the period is about 28 days

a month

that is where the name comes from, too

If u moved then you would see the side of the moon

So let me propose a though experiment to explain this

Yet no one ever has

the moon is far away

really far

So

Shouldnt matter

if a mountain is 20 miles from you

If u r moving in a circle on a globe. The moon would rise and set and you would see different sides of it

and you walk five feet in any direction

will you see a signficant change?

in the mountain?

Thats not the same

why not?

If the moon is 1/6 or 1/4 the size of earth and 238k miles away and the earth is 25k.in circumference that would make the sides if the moon visible over the course of 12 hours on earth from the moon rising or setting

5ft compared to a mountain is not comparable

can you vc rn?

No cookinh

ok

so

in a globe model

what is moving?

Why dont you make a graphic that debunks or confirms the globe

To this conversation

ok

give me, like, 5-10 minutes
