come on , your clever enough to realise its a typo. why ask? unless it for comedy value

What has philosophy got to do with mass systems?

the original question was would Earth be Earth without our lovely large moon

Still, that's not really a philosophical matter.

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".

i don't think it's a philosophical matter

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!

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.

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.

Yes' date=' there is proof.

Ahem.

 

I was in a state of confusion then. Didn't you read my later posts?

 

I like drawing big diagrams in MS Paint. Noone can take that away from me!

None is so mighty as my diagram explaining what happened to the dinosaurs.

show me the dinosaur diagram

A simple search...

Mine all make sense, so yah boo sucks to Sayonara.
