Why are the sun and moon the same size in the sky?
Oh I don't know, let's ask Almighty 0bama, Creator of Heavens and Earth, ask him exactly how he pulled that off.

“it is all thanks to a striking coincidence.”
I was looking for that. They ALWAYS make sure that’s in the first paragraph.
Yes, it’s just one of MANY glaringly obvious “coincedences” by which God gives us his signature.

Reminds me of a ‘blonde’ joke.
Two blondes in Chicago were talking, and one asked the other “What's closer, Texas or the Moon?”
The other replied “Duh! Can you see Texas?”

I wish we had two moons at the same distance so they could have clacker like encounters from time to time.

1: JAN (real old-timers will understand)
2: Obama wants all to be the same, regardless of our usefulness.
It doesn't matter if you are a gigantic heat, light and energy producer, or a large dead useless rock that only changed because of the impact of expensive, taxpayer-funded government programs on it (Apollo, etc.) and then just changed a tiny bit, Obama wants us all to get the same recognition, (except ACORN and big time Dem donors, of course.)

“The same size” means approximately, not exactly. On average, the Sun appears slightly larger than the Moon in our sky, although both vary slightly in apparent size due to the eccentricities of Earth’s and the Moon’s orbits. Because of these variations sometimes the Moon appears larger than the Sun, and if it passes in front of the Sun at that time a total solar eclipse occurs. Other times, the Moon appears smaller, and if it passes in front of the Sun then, an annular eclipse occurs, where a thin ring of sunlight remains around its edge, where the Moon is not large enough to cover it.
Also, like the article stated, the Moon is slowly moving away from us, and millions of years later it will appear small enough that all solar eclipses will be annular (or partial). And hundreds of millions of years ago, during the time of the dinosaurs, the Moon appeared distinctly larger than the Sun.

This thread is to much for “Super-Bowl Saturday”, but for some insane reason I had to read it. :^)

The article doesn’t answer the question “Why are the sun and moon the same size in the sky?”
Why don’t they just say that they don’t know!

I witnessed a total solar eclipse in 1979 here on our North American continent. About 2 to 3 minutes in totality. One of the most amazing experiences in my life. It was worth the trip.

There is a fascinating and very well made documentary, "The Privileged Plant" that goes into great detail about how unique Earth is not only to have life, but even more to let its inhabitants explore the rest of universe. I would would heartily recommend both the video and the book! Here's a link to the info about it:
The Privileged Planet
There's a link there to view a sample of the video. I didn't check it out, but it's probably worth the effort.
