>>20398353>oh, another little thing. why does the earth appear the sIze of the moon the the earths night sky? id have thought the earth would be much bigger than it appears.Okay, but how do you know it appears the size of the Moon if it's just a globe against a dark background and there is nothing to compare its size with? There are no trees, no buildings, nothing. Do you have a photo in particular?
Even if you do, you'd have to calculate precisely the angular size of the Earth as it'd appear to an observer, then know exactly the properties of the lens used to take the photo and how it'd distort and project the the image onto the film, and know the exact position and distance from the camera to the reference object.
