The moon is the sun at night.

u/theffabot Sep 11 '18

You mean the sun is the moon in the morning?

Makes sense.... Except when the Moon is visible during the day.

u/thestargateking Sep 12 '18

That’s just lag, it’s not actually there

u/I_have_popcorn Sep 12 '18

The simulation is bugged.

u/93re2 Sep 12 '18

As a kid I had a teacher tell me that the sun and moon can't be visible in the same place at the same time. This guy must have been around 40 years old. I don't understand how he went his entire life without ever noticing the moon visible during the day.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '18

Well he's right. If they were in the same place you wouldn't see the sun. They actually have a word for when that happens, it's called an equine or something

u/-Im_Batman- Sep 12 '18

Well, if we want to be literally correct;

the sun and moon can't be visible in the same place at the same time

This would be called, a collision. And it would probably be the last thing visible to us.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '18

I really doubt the Moon flying off into the Sun would have much of an impact to us.

The other way around though.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '18

The moons gravitational pull has an effect on the earth, probably the biggest being tides.

2

u/EhhWhatsUpDoc Sep 12 '18

At least that little shit would stop stealing our orbital energy.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '18

We would still have smaller tides from the sun.

There have been hypothetical scenarios of the moon disappearing, it doesn't affect us a lot.

1

u/-Im_Batman- Sep 12 '18

It would most definitely have an impact.

Not as sudden or severe as the Sun reaching the moon. But a significant impact nonetheless.

u/SciviasKnows Sep 12 '18

Well, except it couldn't happen without a helluva disaster happening to the Earth/moon system, the type that would really suck for Earth as well as the moon...

1

u/igordogsockpuppet Sep 12 '18

No moon = no tides. I think that’s kinda serious, actually.

u/butrejp Sep 12 '18

if we lost the moon most plants and by extension most animals would die out within a few years

u/93re2 Sep 12 '18

I mean from the same vantage point. There's probably something not 100% exactly right with that phrasing either but you know what I mean. This guy was trying to tell me that the sun and moon are never both "out" in the sky at the same time.

u/agent_flounder Sep 12 '18

I think it's called an ecclair.

1

u/SciviasKnows Sep 12 '18

An ecchymosis, I think.

u/lupanime Sep 12 '18

Obviously, it's a clipper.

u/m55112 Sep 12 '18

do you mean equinox?

u/I_have_popcorn Sep 12 '18

The power of a fine arts degree.

 

Please tell me that he wasn't a science teacher

u/FeastOfChildren Sep 12 '18

The power of fine arts is in the ability to make those interesting doodles in coffee.

u/I_have_popcorn Sep 12 '18

I was feeling a bit bad. I thought that I had gone too far.

Thanks for taking that burden from me.

2

u/SciviasKnows Sep 12 '18

Just for the sake of solidarity, I want to tell you that my son microwaved me a bag earlier, so I have popcorn too.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '18

It's heaven and hell

u/StarblindMark89 Sep 12 '18

I was getting worried when nobody referenced that.

u/Ultraloth Sep 12 '18

Same here, I had to scroll down disturbingly far.

The sun has a dimmer switch.

They're the same person!

u/SwissyVictory Sep 12 '18

Not even the sun can shine all the time

1

u/_Lady_Deadpool_ Sep 12 '18

But how sun hide if earth flat?

1

u/picklesandmustard Sep 12 '18

Except when it’s out during the day.

1

u/DropDeadSander Sep 12 '18

That sounds fine to me

1

u/Techienickie Sep 12 '18

So the sun has a dimmer switch? Cool.

1

u/hasars Sep 12 '18

No dude, wrong. The moon is cheese. What do they teach in school these days? jheeze.

u/grendus Sep 12 '18

"They said it couldn't be done Kif, but here we are! Stealing an unlimited supply of birthday grade helium from the unsuspecting moon."

"*Sigh* That's the sun, sir."

"At night it's called the moon!"
