ydoaPs Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 the original question was would Earth be Earth without our lovely large moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Still, that's not really a philosophical matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I don't understand where philosophy comes in either, but then again I still don't even understand what the moon has to do with the Earth being labled "Earth". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaKiri Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 So really' date=' the moon and the Earth are kind of chasing each other, going in a circle, one always behind the other? NO. Do you have PROOF?[/quote'] Yes, there is proof. Part of the problem here is I don't think you've realised that the moons orbit isn't circular. Like almost every orbit, it's an elipse, with the thing its orbiting around at one of the foci (in this case, the earth). You want to know another really easy way to check? I'm going to draw a diagram, check back in a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaKiri Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Big ass diagram! Anyway, that clearly shows that the CoM of the Earth/Moon system isn't the Earth's for any point in the orbit, hence it's not the same for every point in the orbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodhound Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 it will also depend on what frame of reference ur talking about. if ur on moon. u probably would say that the earth doesnt revolve. only rotates round its axis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
