Re: A coincidence I have a problem with.

if you were to illustrate the coincidence that the sun is 400x the size of the moon and also 400x further away from Earth, how would you do it?

I'd start with the ratios of other planets and their satellites (to the sun) in our solar system. It's our only comparitive bench mark.
I'd also look to see if the ideal orbit for any satellite is linked to it's mass. That is, if the moon was smaller, would it likley be closer, thus having near the same effect in relative diamter to the sun during an eclipse.
