The moon: distance and diameter

Good day,

what is the distance of the moon from Earth's surface?
How was ist measured?
If not measured, how was it calculated? (Who did it first, and when? What is the basis of the calculation? What is the formula?)

Also, what is the diameter of the moon?
(Same here: How was it measured and if not measured, how was it calculcated and that is the formula? Who was the first do it and when?)


Thank you.

No one with any idea about it?

Why are you in such a hurry? People are not here with files in their hands waiting for you to ask questions.

And again, you ask a lot of questions under the same heading. It's like you're pushing the conditions to not get an answer and then you ask "why isn't anyone answering?". Don't you realize this seems childish?

I apologize. Bad habit from work, I guess, where replies often come within an hour.

In any event, if you could reply to my question(s), that would be highly appreciated.
Obviously, you are a person here on the board with lots of knowledge, so I guess you might be the person to have those answers.

Would you want to you try the search function of the forum before ask the question?

I did. Searching for the keywords 'moon' and 'distance'. I went through way over a hundred search results with nothing substantial coming up.

The other questions in my initial post could not be answered using the search engine. (The diameter question brought up different results, which does not seem right. The moon has one diameter, it does not 'change', so at least one of the numbers must be wrong.)

Ok. The flat earth society finds it better to research information yourself rather than getting it directly from a source. That's why you can find different numerical values ​​here.

The distance of the moon is found by calculating the distance of the sun. Because the distance of the sun is considered the same as the distance of the moon, and the diameter of the sun is considered the same as the diameter of the moon. I used the expression "confirmed" because we did not go to the moon and since we deny that we went to the moon, we can only find this by calculation.

If you consider that the world is flat, the distance and diameter of the sun are determined based on the shadow angles of the sun in any two cities.

There are many studies done on this subject, and one of them is in one of my threads in the believers section. That's why I suggested you search. Since you couldn't find it, I'll give you as much information as I remember. Honestly it should be in there somewhere.

Most flat earth researchers calculate the distance between the sun and the moon from the earth as 3000 miles. I calculated it a little closer than this, but I stated that this value could be acceptable. The diameter of the moon and the diameter of the sun (if I remember correctly) are 50 kilometers. If I remember incorrectly it could be 5 kilometers. I need to check my page to confirm. Since you're not looking, I'm not looking either. You can find it if you try again by selecting my posts in the search options. If you search by typing username as a member in the search option in the member messages search options, you will see the craziest theories.

good luck.

I have tried to find the studies you mentioned, to no avail.

Since this is the Q&A section, in according with board rules, I have created a follow-up topic in the appropriate section. The topic might be interesting to others as well.

Perhaps you might want to respond there, or not.
In any event, have a nice weekend.

Doest the wiki say 3000 miles? And I believe 3000 yards sphere?

We (mankind) have no more an idea of the distance to the moon or any heavenly body than the mortician that has never seen a dead body knows of thanatology.

Sorry username. Are you a sphereist? The wiki clearly states 3000 miles above and 32 miles. Please stop spreading disinformation .

Some parts of the wiki need updating and username has been aware of this for years. For example, it is necessary to update the wiki on this subject and state that these values ​​are estimates.

The information in the wiki is an estimate, not direct measurement data. Since it is not possible to measure directly, the lunar distance and diameter values ​​written in the wiki are estimated using methods such as light or sound effects.

In summary, we cannot be sure how far away the Moon is without going to it, but we can estimate and the data on the wiki is also an estimate.

Stop spamming Q&A.

The wiki is just that - a wiki. It is not some oracle of truth. The above is based on the Rowbotham model, of whom I was paraphrasing from Earth: Not A Globe when I wrote "no more an idea of the distance to the moon or any heavenly body than the mortician that has never seen a dead body knows of thanatology."

It also is not the only model.

Please read a book. Youtube is giving you brain rot.

Yes.  lord wilmore believes and also tom which is from another board believes that the southern ( hub) terminus ends at Antarctica but but in their belief the terminus ends much farther. Away

Dr. Bishop comes from no particular forum and has existed far before both. We have some wonderful posters about Shenton's lectures around what might exist beyond the wall, and he has talked to it at depth; especially regarding it being where Jesus ascended to.

The Late Shenton, of course. Not the living one.
