Nice strawman arguement there Softball. I asked about it being visible at your house and not mine at the same time. Your response was to ignore that.
No and wrong.Softball Bat wrote:The Moon illusion is an optical illusion which causes the Moon to appear

Is it only closer to earth when we see it on our horizon??
It is also closer to earth when it is up in our sky, right?
Is something wrong with you?
Good point. I hadn't thought of that.88 wrote:I going to guess that some people are going to assert that due to the location of their shoulders, the position of the ruler is different relative to their eyes and that explains why the fucking moon is the same size in the sky as it is at the horizon.Mikey wrote:Here's an idea, that's maybe too logical for the folks around here.
Next time there's a full moon, grab a ruler. Hold the ruler at arm's length and measure the diameter of the moon once when it's on the horizon and once when it's overhead.
Come back here and report the results.

A science lesson from Softball Bat!!!!
It offers great perspective... in that it almost makes LTS seem like he understands basic science.
Good grief, you are a lawyer, aren't you?88 wrote:I detect a wiggle. Care to explain the "more-or-less" qualifier?

Yours are much better.
From you, we've learned that the earth's atmosphere is a vacuum (if only there was a way to prove this, beyond breathing).
And that the Bible is a science book.
And that a quadratic equation describes the arc of a circle.
And objects disappear in the distance because of the scientific phenomenon of "vanishing point" (despite telescopes).
I mean, you're a veritable fountain of knowledge.
By all means, please continue.

The Earth has a radius of approximately 3965 miles. Using the Pythagorean theorem, that calculates to an average curvature of 7.98 inches per mile or approximately 8 inches per mile (squared).

Hence the earth's surface curves approximately 8 inches in one mile. Look at our response to Shirley to see what happens after the first mile.
- Math Central
https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=l5I ... e.&f=false
The true level being a curve line which falls below the straight line of apparent level about 8 inches in one mile; 32 inches in two miles, etc., the curvature always augmenting in proportion to the square of the distance.

The degree of convexity of the earth is, as nearly as can be stated in figures, 7 inches and 9/10ths of an inch, or nearly 8 inches in a mile.
