    earth and other things revolve
    around the sun...
    that can only mean one thing..
    the sun is not moving.

    it is my undrstanding...
    the sun being a star..
    that there are no stars that move.


    Hey! Where is the Big Dipper? I don't see it...it must have moved! Where did it go????
    Does that North star ever move???

    (by move, i mean move it's position)

    Since it is not *exactly* above the pole, yes, it does.

    You maean North of the North pole is...up?

    That is not what I said. I said that the north star (Polaris) is south of the actual celestial pole. This is basic astronomy 101... read a danf textbook!

    "The Moon orbits Earth at a speed of 2,288 miles per hour (3,683 kilometers per hour or 1.022 km/s). Its orbital period is 27 days. During this time it travels a distance of 1,423,000 miles."

    i wanna see the dark side of the moon...but
    for some reason it just doesn't wanna move.

    You ignorance of the motions of astronomical bodies is huge.

    Half of the moon is always dark, just like half of the Earth is always dark, just like every body in the solar system is always half in the dark. When you look at a full moon you are looking at the entire sunlit half, and the rest of the time you are
    looking at part of the illuminated side and part of the dark side. Why is this so hard for you to understand?

    On the other hand you can never see the *far* side of the moon from the surface of the Earth, which, of course is also regularly illuminated by the Sun, just like the near side.

    "the dark side" of our moon is eternally out of view, never facing the earth. it's not moving. it is not going to turn around. it's fixed.

    No, dimwit, it is the *far* side of the moon that we cannot, but it, too is illuminated by the sun for a part of every month. The *far* side is not always dark! This, OF COURSE, is because the moon is rotating on its axis, and its rotation period equals
    its revolution period because it is tidally couploed to the Earth.

    An obsolete definition of 'dark' is 'unknown', and almost the only time
    you'll hear the word 'dark' used this way is 'dark side of the moon',
    meaning the (once unknown) far side of the moon.

    I am confident that were the Earth to suddenly disappear the moon would continue to happily circle the Sun. In fact, even in the current situation, the moon's orbit is *always* concave towards the Sun!

    So yes, the moon revolves around the Sun with proportionally small perturbations in and out due to the gravitational field of the earth.

    No, it is really that you are massively ignorant of the subject matter.
    According to Relativity, the earth is at the center and the sun revolves around the earth relative to each other from a frame of reference using
    the coordinate systems.

    There is nothing that proves the sun is at the center. This is all mathematically correct according to Einstein theory relativity. Is he
    wrong?

    Sure there is. Gravity proves the Sun is at the center of the Solar system.
    The nature of gravitation is that it always has a center of its field.
    The Solar system is orbiting that center.

    According to Relativity, the earth is at the center and the sun revolves around the earth relative to each other from a frame of reference using
    the coordinate systems.

    Wherever did you get this idea? Let' see a reference for this ridiculous claim!

    There is nothing that proves the sun is at the center. This is all mathematically correct according to Einstein theory relativity. Is he
    wrong?

    Einstein never made such a claim.

    Half of the moon is always dark, just like half of the Earth is always dark, just like every body in the solar system is always half in the dark. When you look at a full moon you are looking at the entire sunlit half, and the rest of the time

    On the other hand you can never see the *far* side of the moon from the surface of the Earth, which, of course is also regularly illuminated by the Sun, just like the near side.

    An obsolete definition of 'dark' is 'unknown', and almost the only time
    you'll hear the word 'dark' used this way is 'dark side of the moon',
    meaning the (once unknown) far side of the moon.

    he is toooo busy trying to figure out whether or not the moon revoles around the sun....

    I am confident that were the Earth to suddenly disappear the moon would continue to happily circle the Sun. In fact, even in the current situation, the moon's orbit is *always* concave towards the Sun!

    So yes, the moon revolves around the Sun with proportionally small perturbations in and out due to the gravitational field of the earth.

    "... the moon orbits the sun and is always falling towards it."

    if the moon revolves around the sun then by definition...the moon is a planet.

    Moon's get to orbit.


    The force of the gravitational force of earth is more than the sun on
    moon.

    The Sun's field would be equal on the Earth Moon system.
    The Earth on the moon isn't as much.

    No. The Sun takes the solar system around
    the Milky Way... There is no absolute rest...

    The Sun takes the solar system around???? isn't it the other way
    around??

    Not at all. There is a center of gravity. It is the Sun for the rest of the Solar system.
    And that is moving around the Milky Way center.

    The force of the gravitational force of earth is more than the sun on
    moon. So the moon revolves around the earth not the sun.

    The force of the sun on the moon is about twice that of the earth on the moon.

    There is no force, stupid Mike. One of these common
    sense prejudices refuted by your idiot guru.

    So even you aren't really stupid enough to believe in relative motion, Al. Well, well.
    Relative motion is obviously a real thing, Woz

    But, as seen above - even you're not stupid enough to
    really believe it, Al.

    The force of the gravitational force of earth is more than the sun on moon. So the moon revolves around the earth not the sun.

    The force of the sun on the moon is about twice that of the earth on the moon. That's why the moon's path around the sun is a wiggly ellipse and always curves toward the sun, even during the new moon when the earth
    and sun are pulling it in opposite directions.

    are you talking about a weak force or a strong force?

    Weak and strong forces are only present at the nuclear level and have no application when discussing orbital dynamics. Read a dang textbook!
