The Moon is just far sufficient away to have, when seen from Earth, very nearly the same apparent angular dimension because the Solar (the Sun is 400 occasions bigger, however the Moon is 400 instances nearer). This allows whole eclipses as well as annular eclipses to happen on Earth. Here’s a diagram displaying the relative sizes of the Earth and the Moon and the gap between the 2.

Maybe, we will understand higher how this is if we stand in entrance of a row of homes forming a bulging crescent. Let us stand close to one of the homes and turn our heads first to the proper, and then to the left. We cannot see a lot of the row of homes – maybe only a bit of … Read the rest

The wires lead to a big lie detector on a stand next to him, which has jagged traces drawn across it. Standing man: IS THERE AN EARTHQUAKE TAKING PLACE?! Sitting man: No!

It looks quite a bit like the tilt view in Maps. It is not good, as you may tell from the screenshots, however you’ll be able to’t deny that it is neat.

The gravitational attraction between the Earth and Moon trigger the tides on Earth. The same impact on the Moon has led to its tidal locking: its rotation interval is identical as the time it takes to orbit the Earth.
