Dave, one thing to keep in mind is that that photo was taken in an atmosphere. There's no atmosphere on the moon. That's why the terminator line is so sharp.

The sky is black from a lack of light, and the sun being on the other side of the earth. Also, I already told you how, and told you an experiment that shows you EXACTLY how the sun can still shine on the moon. WRONG. See above. See above.

I will reply to this and to your previous comment later when I have time, because you just contradicted yourself slightly, though you may not have noticed it.

You missed his point entirely. AMR, did the sun grow legs and stand in one place for a few hours in the sky? Or did it simply stop moving?

Here's the one I was looking for: http://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.html

Here's one... Not the one I was looking for, but it'll work... (it scrolls sideways) http://www.phrenopolis.com/perspective/solarsystem/

You mean "penumbra"? You're wondering about why if the moon orbits the earth does it not always fall in the earth's shadow when the Earth is (relatively) between the moon and Sun, correct? If so, you can show yourself why, using the following experiment: Take a lamp (the bigger the better)...

Funny story about this... I once tried to make a model of the solar system in Unity3D once. I went really small, making the sun about 1 dm (iirc, or it might have been 1 cm, though I do remember using that link I provided in my previous comment to determine scale). But I had trouble making the...

Because that image, which is based on the globe earth model, is not to scale, if it were, you would only be able to see the sun, and the earth would just be a tiny speck that's really far away from it. You could not be able to see the moon. You could search online for making a scale model of...

I watched them about a week or so ago. Ah the memories... (though I saw them several years after they came out)

Also, that moon one was made in 1989. And it's still of comparable quality to today's movies lol

If you have Amazon Prime you can watch those old videos on Prime Video

Was asking Dave.

Is it round like a plate is round (ie a disk)? Or round like a globe is round (ie a sphere)?

AMR, I fully believe the account of the sun standing still in the Bible recorded in Joshua 10 happened. I also fully believe (arguing philosophically here) that the earth is the center of God's attention, and even that the earth is very close the the center of all of space (kgov.com/axis), but...

And there's nothing in Joshua 10 to indicate that what I said is NOT what happened. My argument comes from logic and physics. The problem (and again, speaking just from within from the assumption that the earth IS round) with the idea that the earth is absolutely stationary is that, if true...

Using an opponent's evidence against him is usually the best way to defeat him.
