To be fair, Sun is a source of light. Moon, on the other hand...
Whats upto
Nvm looked it up, it's like updog
aw look, junior made a meme
Everest can be seen 200 miles away on a clear day
It's 90 miles from Seattle to Mount Ranier and it absolutely dominates the horizon.
Flat earth proven! Boom! /s
I don't think you needed a /s for that
Poe's law would say otherwise.
Me who can see Polaris 433 light years away.
V762 Cassiopeiae: am I a joke to you?
I mean I can't pick it out of a starfield or navigate the ocean at night by it. So. Ya.
I guess you couldn't have been an archer in ancient Rome.
Amateur. In a dark location, on a clear night, I can see the Andromeda Galaxy, 2.3 million light years away.
Smh you say on a dark place but then you say light years. If the whole year is light then how do you expect anyone to see if it has to be dark?
You're not really seeing it, though, your seeing it's distant past
If you're going down that road, you're never seeing anything in its present form because even for an object a meter in front of you, all you're really seeing is the object as it existed nano seconds in the past. Hows is a nano second in the past different from years in the past?
My back says there's a difference
Well its shorter
But since the sun is 93 millions miles away it's further because the number is bigger
No you see some infinites are bigger than other. So light year is basically a larger infinity than millions. There's a YouTube video about, look it up 👍
/s (you never know these days)
Oh yeah, well I can see your mom. 2.3 million light years away. Because she's fat.
Fuckin' got them! Nice.
You can't see my mom, she's dead.
Of course she's dead, she's in space...
She's 2.3 million light years away. We're seeing her in the past.
Triangulum Galaxy is a smidge farther away (~2.7Mly) and also naked eye visible with the right sky conditions and good eyes.
I dont think 400000 times light can travel in a year of difference is "slightly further away"
What's a few hundred thousand light years between friends?
I think you a word
You can't the whole sun.
Is that dangerous?
Look at the sun for a while and you won't see anything ever anymore.
who can the sun 93 million miles away
Yes, but for how long?
Where did you learn that? Is that a real thing people are taught?
3 miles is roughly how far you can see to the horizon (before the curvature of the earth blocks your line of sight)
I don't want to check miles, but it's pretty on point with what I remember, which is the horizon being 5km away for a 180cm (~6ft) tall person. (3 miles is close enough to 5km)
Getting even a few meters of something under you would drastically change how far you see.
