	How far away is the moon? How far do you travel when you go for a drive? What is the ratio of those two distances? Make a sketch. __________________ "Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it." Elwood P. Dowd

	Hi guru, Avg. distance b/w moon & earth - 3.85lakh Km (3,84,392) My travelling distance will be around 350 km. So the ratio is around 1100..... From this, what u r trying to say??? __________________ [Information is knowledge]

	By the way, please don't use text speak. If the ratio is 1100 (I didn't check the math, but that sounds about right), the apparent location of the moon will be determined by that angle. So, if you do the tan^-1 1100 versus the tan^-1 1098, can you visually distinguish between these two angles? __________________ "Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it."

	Hello TVP45 Not even the bald eagle, which is reputed to have the finest visual acuity of any creature, could discern that extremely small angular distance. It looks as if the have it.
