A solar eclipse shows apparent position not actual position. At the exact instant that you see a solar eclipse the suns actual position is already 8.3 minutes beyond that point.
Do you really believe that the speed of light is instantaneous? The only way that the the suns apparent position and actual position could be the same is if the the speed of light was instantaneous.
Let us place this comment alongside your earlier comment in post 533:
The Sun is only 2.1 degrees behind strictly in relationship to an observer on the earth, in a two body model... Adding a third body invalidates the two body model. [LeGrande, 533]The logical inconsistency of this is striking. On the one hand, you say that your 2.1 degree solar lag theory is only true if there is no moon, while on the other hand the Sun is off by 2.1 degrees during a solar eclipse anyway. It is evident, then, that it matters not one whit to you whether "the model" (i.e., "the excuse", "the distraction", "the waste of time") is true or false.At the exact instant that you see a solar eclipse the suns actual position is already 8.3 minutes beyond that point.
