  1. But i would have been correct if i would remove the wall between smaller Sun and a moon in about half way of the light traveling to me from a smaller Sun? Meaning these 2 objects being on the same distance from me still be visiblr in 4 min difference?
  2. Yes i understand, But reflection for 8 mins is only half of the problem. The 16 mins of delay are not going anywhere, as me sitting there and watching on the moon from that start point. As i understand that two objects on the equal distance from the point of my view (wich is the source of light #1) get 8 min difference in time, because the smaller Sun that is next to the Moon, its light travels towards me and reaches me in 8 mins, but the Moon (that is actually on the same distance from me as the smaller Sun) i will see with 16 min delay. So 2 objects that are on the equal distance from me are actually in two different timeframes (for me). Cause in the start point i will see smaller Sun in 8 mins and the Moon in 16 mins (beacuse light needs to travel to the Moon, from my Sun, and back). I am really sorry if its confusing, its really hard for me to explain myself on the language that is not my primary one. Thank you Regards Ohhhh, Yes now i see... ok thanks for the answer
  3. Light has to travel to the Moon for 8 mins and then reflect back for another 8 mins... 8 + 8 = 16
  4. Great and thank you for the answers. Now about where is the relativity in here: So lets assume that Moon is on the same distance from the Sun im sitting on and also right next to that Moon is another Sun just like mine but a little smaller, also lets assume that between that smaller Sun and Moon is HUUUUGE wall... that us not allowing the smaller Sun light get to the moon... Here is the question: So is that means that i will see smaller Sun like it was 8 mins ago, but the Moon that next to it, how it was 16 mins ago?... Even though both of them are on the same distance from me... And does that mean that i can see past and futue at the same time? Thank you Regards Correct, So 17 min apply to all the time that i am sitting on the Sun.... because there was a start point in time for that X hours, days, years etc., ago. Thanks
  5. Good day, So i got a quick question and maybe someone can help me to understand it. Light travels from Sun to Earth in about 8 minutes. So we can see Sun how it was 8 mins ago... (aprox). So here is the question: Moon does not illuminate by itself as we know. So if im sitting on the Sun and looking at the Moon, should i see it how it was 16 mins ago?.. Thank you. Regards
