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
give me, like, 5-10 minutes
@Citizen Z is is roughly to scale
I drew the moon slightly closer than it would be
Tidal locking isn’t rare in the universe
red to blue is 12 hours
Pluto and Charon are tidally locked to each other
The Galilean Moon’s are tidally locked to Jupiter
@Citizen Z ?
Hey
