Default Re: A coincidence that bothers me

Using wikipedia numbers I get that the sun is 389.17 times as far away as the moon. The sun is 400.67 times as big.

If they were significantly closer I would agree, but those numbers are far enough apart that it's just a coincidence and probably has no real implications.

C'mon you can find some data much more significantly closer if you just keep looking. Must try harder.
