What you must compare is the velocity of the shadow, on the earth's surface, and the surface velocity of the earth.
I calculated those velocities in .. . . . . . . . .
What you must compare is the surface velocity of the earth where the eclipse will pass with the velocity of the moon's shadow.
And tangential (or surface velocity) = angular velocity (in radians/second) times the radius!
The radius of the earth at 40° latitude = cos(40°) x 6.366 x 106 = 4.876 x 106 m.
The angular velocity of the earth = (2 x π)/86400 = 7.272 x 10-5 radians/sec.
So the earth's surface velocity (in the middle of USA) is 4.876 x 106 x 7.272 x 10-5 = 356 m/s.
The radius of the moon's orbit averages 3.850 x 1008 m.
So angular velocity of the moon afound its orbit is (earths angular velocity/29.5306) = 2.463 x 10-6 radians/sec.
And the orbital velocity of the moon is 3.850 x 1008 x 2.463 x 10-6 = 948 m/s.
So even though the moon's angular velocity is much less than the angular velocity of the earth,
the moon's orbital velocity is somewhat more than the surface velocity of the earth.
The moon's shadow travels very slightly faster (about 0.25%) than the moon's orbital velocity.
And the speed of the shadow from west to east is just the shadow's velocity less the surface velocity of the earth.
There is nothing ambiguous about the word actual when someone has wrote the words actual and angular in the same paragraph describing to different types of motion it is obvious to any normal person what they mean.
I disagree, using "angular" in one place and "actual" in the other is simply confusing, but whatever.
Any normal person can understand that as the moon's total orbital path is 27 to 29 days and 1.5 million miles it would have to travel at least a 190000 miles to cross the USA west to east because it is 200000 miles away on your Heliocentric model and in reality the USA is nearly 3000 miles wide so we could say that is roughly 12.5% of the alleged circumfrence of your imaginary Globe which to keep it simple represents roughly 12.5% of the Moons orbital path.
This is where you are totally wrong! Since the sun is so far away from the moon (about 150,000,000 km)
the shadow of the moon on the earth moves at almost the same linear velocity as the linear (or tangential) velocity of the moon.
See in this diagram:
if the moon moves up, the shadow moves up by almost (about 0.25% more) the same distance,
not angle!
This linear tangential velocity of the moon is about 948 m/s (from above) or 3410 km/hr
and the surface velocity of the earth (in the middle of USA) is about 356 m/s (from above) or 1282km/hr.
So the shadow moves from west-to-east at about 3410 km/hr but the earth is also moving west-to-east at about 1282km/hr.
Hence, the nett velocity of the shadow relative to a position in its path is
about 2130 km/hr from west-to-east!
The width of USA along the path of the eclipse is just over 4000 km.
In reality any normal person will know it is impossible for the Moons shadow to travel west to east as they see the Moon rise in the East and set in the West EVERYDAY.
Untrue! The moon does rise in the east and set in the west, but that is due to the earth's angular velocity being greater than the moon's angular velocity.
It is also impossible as shown in the first video I posted at the start of the thread because the earth's angular velocity on your model is 27 times greater than the Moon's actual velocity.
You have failed to take into account that the Solar Eclipse is visable in the Sky
Of course
"the Solar Eclipse is visible in the sky"!
and it is the Earth's alleged angular Velocity as you and your colleague's have agreed that determines what we see in the sky.
I don't know what you claim this "colleague" said, but what
you say is quite wrong.
A video that describes the orbit of the Moon on your Heliocentric model.
That video claims that "The Moon's orbit around the Earth is not possible" and is totally wrong.
You are still totally wrong because you still insist in dredging up rubbish for the trash-can of your
neo-Flat Earthism Cult's Temple.
Light travels in straight lines .
The Eclispe is caused by the moon passing between the sun and the earth.
The Sun has to be directly behind the Moon and the Earth has to be directly in front of the Moon.
Agreed, agreed, agreed!
An object shadow will follow the object when the light source is directly behind it.
Yes, and the moon moves from west-to-east around the earth.
We see the moon rise in the east simply because the angular velocity of the earth's rotation is faster than the angular velocity on the moon in its orbit.
You are now claiming the Moon moves in the opposite direction to what is observed this would be the only possible way that the Moon's shadow can move west to East when the light source which is the Sun is directly behind it.
Yes, the light source (the sun) is directly behind the moon (about 150,000,000 km behind) and the moon moves from west-to-east so the shadow moves from west-to-east!
How many time must I say the same thing?http://www.livephysics.com/physical-constants/mechanics-pc/angular-speed-earth/
Fine, that all looks good to me.
You are fooling no one with your pathetic flat earth nonsense.
It is impossible for the path of the solar eclipse to move in completely the opposite direction to the moon.
OK, but the moon moves from west-to-east,
the moon's shadow moves from west-to-east faster than the earth's surface moves from west-to-east and so
the eclipse moves from west-to-east on the earth's surface.
The moon rises in the East and sets in th west.
Stop saying the same thing over and over and over! We all know that "the moon rises in the East and sets in the west"!
The Solar Eclipse starts in the west and finishes if the East.
Stop saying the same thing over and over and over! We all know that "the Solar Eclipse starts in the west and finishes in the East"!
The Earth's angular velocity which Is one rotation every 24 hrs is 27 times faster than the Moon's velocity.
Stop saying the same thing over and over and over! We all know that "The Earth's angular velocity which Is one rotation every 24 hrs is 27 times faster than the Moon's velocity."!
This is why the moon allegedly rises in the east and sets in the west.
It is NOT "
allegedly rises in the east and sets in the west". We all know that "rises in the east and sets in the west."
If the Moon's velocity was greater than the angular velocity of the earth the Moon would rise in the West and set in the East it would also have to orbit the earth more than once every 24 hours to achieve this.
No! If the
If the Moon's angular velocity was greater than the angular velocity of the earth etc, etc.
But no-one is claiming that it is! I am saying that the
linear (or tangential) velocity of the moon (which determines the shadow;s velocity) is
faster the linear (or surface) velocity of the earth!
And that is quite a different kettle of fish - as it were!
Here is a description of a solar eclipse on your model. Wikipedia,
Solar eclipse
It clearly says the eclipse is caused when the moon passes in front of the sun.
The moon takes 27 days to orbit the earth.
Wikipedia, Orbit of the Moon
On your model the Sun is stationary regarding it's position to the earth and the moon
How do the Sun, The Earth, and the Moon move?
I choose this link so you Stupid and gullable Heliocentric's can try to understand how and why the upcoming Solar Eclipse is impossible on your model.
You did? Just who is stupid and gullible for believing the rubbish out of the trash-can of your
neo-Flat Earthism Cult's Temple.
It is impossible for an objects shadow to move in the opposite direction to the said object when the light source is stationary.
Stop saying the same thing over and over and over! We all know that "It is impossible for an object's shadow to move in the opposite direction to the said object when the light source is stationary."!
The only way this would be possible on your model would be if the Sun was moving millions of miles in relation to the earth and did not maintain it's alleged position in the centre of the solar system.
Totally incorrect! I have already explained many many times that
the moon moves at about
3410 km/hr from west-to-east and hence
the moon's shadow moves at about 3410 km/hr from west-to-east.
https://www.quora.com/Is-the-sun-the-center-of-the-solar-system-Why
So I will tell you again it is impossible for the Moon to cast a shadow on the Earth that is 24 times smaller than itself.
So I will tell you again it is impossible for the Solar Eclipse to move across the Earth west to East which is the opposite direction to the moon on your Heliocentric model.
I couldn't care less how many times you "will tell you again it is impossible" you are still just as incorrect.
Your Heliocentric model does not match reality as such your Heliocentric model is false.
Rubbish, the
heliocentric Globe model explains solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, sun rises, sunsets, etc, etc very well.
Far better than the model you claim to support!
You are still just as wrong as in the first post of this silly thread!
Part one, Part two
Run away with your silly trash-can videos! Most other people have realised that they are wrong!
