@sciencefunn: A total solar eclipse looks almost “too perfect” because the Sun and Moon appear nearly the same size in Earth’s sky ☀️🌑 But here’s the crazy part: The Sun is about 400× larger than the Moon… and also about 400× farther away from Earth. ☀️ Sun diameter: ~1,392,700 km 🌑 Moon diameter: ~3,474 km That makes the Sun roughly 401× larger than the Moon. Distance from Earth: ☀️ Earth → Sun: ~149.6 million km 🌑 Earth → Moon: ~384,400 km That’s a distance ratio of about 389× — almost identical to the size ratio. Because of this incredible coincidence, the Moon can perfectly cover the Sun during a total solar eclipse. But eclipses are not always the same. The Moon’s orbit around Earth is slightly elliptical, meaning sometimes it’s closer to Earth and sometimes farther away. Earth’s orbit around the Sun also changes slightly throughout the year. So sometimes: 🌑 The Moon appears slightly bigger → Total Solar Eclipse 🔥 The Moon appears slightly smaller → Annular Eclipse (“Ring of Fire”) A simple way to imagine it: A basketball held very far away can appear the same size as a pea held close to your eye. That’s basically what’s happening during an eclipse. And here’s the wildest part… The Moon is slowly drifting away from Earth at about 3.8 cm every year. Hundreds of millions of years from now, the Moon will no longer appear large enough to completely cover the Sun — meaning total solar eclipses will eventually disappear forever.

It’s unethical to eat car sized burgers.

masbrong :

f(x) is actually reffering to y fyi.

Battlefield Guy :

5th slide, we can't go faster than light IN A VACUUM. We absolutely can outrun it in other materials. It's called Cherenkov's radiation effect

████████ :

"can we travel faster than light?"

Rhys.less :

s... s-sevenfold?

Makram Makarem :

Actually, the sun and the moon, both the same size relative to an observer on earth because the sun's physical diameter is about 400 times larger than the moon's diameter but the sun is also about 400 times farther away from earth than the moon, they appear to be almost the exact same size in our night sky also that is why we have a solar eclipse the only plant in our solar system. Isn't it beautiful.

Atum ✝️ :

"equal" means the relation to day and night,not size🥀🥀

Insk_4817 :

you can technically travel faster than light 1 worm hole 2 by shrinking the space between the start and destination

420BigDragon :

We can only see light right? then what if something is faster then light but we just cant see it

ⷶ :

i do t get the fourth slide

:| :

Yt shorts humor

Klawisz :

The creation of the earth is written from the perspective of standing on the ground so it is not wrong bro 😑

R H :

First picture. You didn't give the passage it was from. I think it was McDonald 19:40

Riley🇻🇦 :

“Sun&Moon same size” 😭😭

dj_dube :

That quote isn’t wrong it states “as regards” as regards meaning as we see them (or regard them in older English) not as they actually are everything is a matter of perspective

KeinMaster3644🇮🇹 :

500L MENTIONED🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

El Henzy😈👿 :

f(*) got me 😂

🤦 :

Yeah but then the number is wrong😭

pancake_destroyer1 :

Just increase the light speed

CrashDy :

Depends on how you mean faster than light. If we are able to bend space, then yea we can.

wardentrey :

moon light?

Cheems :

someone explain last one

den :

Sevenfold?
