if the sun were farther away or different size it wouldnt have the same effect
same goes for the moon
its like a start point of an astrophysics equation and our earth fits into the equation some how. and so does everything else

You're joking right? ???

as you see the size of the two is perfect (http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/706834main_20121113-solareclipse_full.jpg)

It's because they are circles. Try this. get a coaster, go outside and hold it facing the sun about 6 inches from your face. Guess what? Perfect fit to the sun :o Better yet, get a dime and hold it an inch from your eye facing the sun, perfect fit.
Now to blow your mind, get a basketball and do the same at arms length. Guess what? perfect fit. Fucking insanity.

U fucking moron.
His point is that the earth somehow someway is at the proper distance for the moon and the sun to eclipse perfectly.

yes im saying there is some sort of coordination at work here. since there is.. what happens on these solar eclipses , does the shuman resonance change, what about magnetic feilds, what about sunspots and solar activity, what about social changes here on earth ect.

annular eclipses don't fit perfectly

God you are stupid. It would fit the same at many distances.
-
God you are stupid. It would fit the same at many distances.
your talking different objects at certain distances in order to find the right distance to eclipse. your using the human hand with a certain size object aswell as lining it up a the right distance
the solar eclipse is more natural phenominon, we must question if there is more to consider during the solar eclipse

Yeah, that's a total solar eclipse...
this is what annular eclipse is like

The solar eclipse will be partial if you aren't in the correct location.

Here are the sweet spots to see total solar eclipses from 1997 to 2035.
USA has a nice one in 2017.

Ur a fucking moron. The diameter of the sun and the moon at any instant in time are fixed. No they do not project the same at many distances from one select spot on earth at any given time. WTF did you eat last night? why are you so stupid today? This is 5th grade physics.
You gave an example of a coin and a basketball projecting to similar diameter but at different distances. That disproved your theory that two fixed diameter objects will eclipse the same at many distances. You're not only stupid, you're hypocritical.
The fuk happened to adults these days?

um, no ;D
-
Most of the planets in the solar system lie in the same orbital plane, which includes Earth and our only satellite.

unbelievable! I was talking about this this morning. no bullshit. that's freaky. contemplating the exact same thing. perspective wise from the earth, they are identical size.

With a potentially infinite supply of planets, stars and moons, some of them are bound to align.

hahah :)

lets see here
there is a decrease in solar radiation during the solar eclipse upon the earth , and in turn an increase in solar radiation on the moon now you could write a book on change after change that is happening not quite at first glance but if you think about it things start to form a puzzle
this is interesting

The stupidity in this thread is unreal. Seriously, this shit is taught in elementary school. Idiocracy is upon us. :D

there might be a momentary shift in the brain when the sun is blotted out

What do you want me to contribute? This shit is fairly simple. The moon orbits the earth in an elliptical motion. The earth orbits the sun in an elliptical motion. They eventually line up causing an eclipse. Part of the world gets to see it, and the rest of the world doesn't. Didn't you learn about this in school? ???

not exaclty, if you were even 10000miles further away,it would still seems like a perfect fit.

I can't see that.

I expect the sun's corona would make it look like a match whenever the moon is near enough to cover the sun.

Isaac Asimov reportedly said this about the subject: "There is no astronomical reason why the moon and the sun should fit so well. It is the sheerest of coincidences, and only the Earth among all the planets is blessed in this fashion."
Can the above be true? Any science-types care to chime in?

It is just that, a coincidence. You're dealing with 3 spheres. One is stationary, and the other 2 orbit around the stationary sphere in elliptical orbits. Eventually, they will line up. Nothing more than coincidence. :-\

It's a matter of their relative size, rather than the fact they are lining up.
-
LOL..There's actually a group of people that believe the moon was man-made by our ancestors, and perhaps this is the reason why.

i wouldnt call gods will and work coincidence ;D

Yes, that's what I meant in lamen (Johnny) terms. Now if they did not travel in an ellipses, and we still had eclipses, that would be something. Would mean that they were at the perfect distance from each other, and that would surely not be a coincidence.
-

God did not make our sun, earth, or moon. HTH. :D

They are close, but not a perfect fit:

I'm not sure if we're on the same subject, Twaddle.

From the article:
"The angular diameter of the Sun is about the same as that of the Moon (the diameter is 400 times as large and the distance also)..."

its 403. something.
its slightly off,thats what i meant, if the earth would be further out orbiting the sun, itd still look "perfect" to us.
-

Lol just shut up already. As usual you don't know what you're talking about. You are retarded.

It should be easy to figure out exactly what leeway in distance there would be for that, using the difference (whatever that very small number in difference is).
Have to admit to being unaware or unresponsive to it before now. Crazy. Maybe I'd assumed it was some sort of coronal illusion that the two seemed so identical in size, I don't know. Hadn't paid attention to it, and don't know why. It's definitely interesting.

Johnny F. please go and join Wiggs in the bunker because your brain needs a rest. Stop reading the bullshit on the internet for goodness sake.
-
um, no ;D
No? Mr. Falcon is right - at least about the relevance of distance and size. The Sun is about 400 times the diameter of the Moon, but it is also 400 times farther away from the Earth. That is why the Moon can appear to completely eclipse the Sun, when viewed from Earth. They have the "apparent" same size.

Well, technically the sun isn't stationary. By tracking the motion of sunspots across the Sun we can see it has rotational motion. It takes the Sun 31 days to rotate at its poles, but at its equator it moves faster, taking just 27 days to turn one revolution. This type of differential rotation is also present on the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn. The lack of a rigidly defined surface and a largely flowing composition means objects like the Sun can have varying rotational speeds as the whole body is not held together in the same way rocky planets like Earth are.
The Sun is also moving in two other ways. First, it is not stationary in the solar system; it is actually in orbit around every body that is also in orbit around it, such as all the planets. However, as the Sun is so massive its orbit is nominal. Indeed, the centre of mass of these orbital systems is often found within the Sun itself, so it only wobbles very slightly compared to the huge orbits of other celestial bodies. Beyond this, the Sun is also moving around the centre of the Milky Way along with the entire solar system; one complete orbit will take about 230 million years.

same goes for the moon
its like a start point of an astrophysics equation and our earth fits into the equation some how. and so does everything else

1 more way yet, the milky way is also in motion and I am not talking spinning, I am talking moving in one direction like two galaxies that are moving away from each other
