Why Does The Sun And Moon Appear To Be The Same Size in The Sky?

The Diameter of the sun is about 1.4 million kilometers while that of the moon is 3474.8 kilometers which makes the sun 400 times  the size of the moon.

The Distance between the earth and sun is about  150 million kilometers, while the distance between the moon and earth is about  0.4 Million kilometers, if jack were to travel to the sun, and Bob were to travel to moon,  Bob would have about 200 two-way trips to the moon, before jack reaches his destination. This gives you’re the ridiculous difference between the two, the size and the distance differences.

The original question arises during solar Eclipse where the moon covers the sun in the sky, and it  does covers almost the entire sun, so Why Does The Sun  And Moon Appear To Be The Same Size in The Sky?

Scientific Answer:

As of today all the scientists “The so called Best Minds”  would tell you that ‘it is a Coincidence’,  Honestly speaking you ask me that is so “Unscientific” conclusion, can they prove that it is a coincidence? or can they prove that there isn’t real cause of it to appear that way? .  If you can’t see the answer it doesn’t mean it is not there.

The logical explanation – Reason why sun and moon appear to be the same size in the sky

Let’s take a look to the mechanism of a weight scale,

A lever is a rigid object that is used with an appropriate pivot point to either multiply the mechanical force (effort) that can be applied to another object or resistance force (load), or multiply the distance and speed at which the opposite end of the rigid object travels. Levers can be used to exert a large force over a small distance at one end by exerting only a small force over a greater distance at the other.

The scale  consists of a pivoted horizontal lever of equal length arms, called the beam, with a weighing pan, suspended from each arm.

The mechanism of the scale is exactly the same way the moon and sun are balanced in the solar system to stay where they are, so that they can be in harmony, the force, mass and size has been distributed equally so that there is a balance, that is to say one will not fall into the other. and because of the distance and size of the sun and moon relative to the earth makes them appear with that size on the sky!. As we all know if our planet would move closer to the sun, it would be too hot for life sustenance, and if it were to move further it would be too cold. Another factor is that if the moon is too close to the earth is would collide with it, and if it is too far it will be pulled away from its orbit. Read more about scale mechanism

The Focal Mechanism

When you have two lenses inside the camera there has to be the focal point where one lens or the distance between the one lens and the original image has to be adjusted for the image to appear on the film, this takes us back to the same concept of balance, the fact that there has to be a precise balance between gravitational forces relative to their volumes and mass for them to be in the position within the solar system take a closer look at the image below:

Most of solar eclipses appears in such a way that the sun is totally covered by the size of the moon regardless of it’s immense size! and this raises the question why would they appear to have the same size in the sky?

additional facts: there is more than just a coincidence in the sky!
