if the moon was half the distance from earth how big would it look from earth? would it look twice as big?

It not that easy it a way more complex equation. Look on google for ''Perceived size and distance in visual space''

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

If you don't use bandwidth, does it exist?

no .

Man never walked on the moon:2 cents:

they would if it was half distance

They did. 6 times actually.

no. :1orglaugh

how big would it look?

It wouldn't look "big", if the moon was half the distance than most waves would be 50 feet high in the ocean. Now think about that, do you think most of this earth would survive 50 foot waves?

I would hide in my tank

of course they did. why would they make all that progress then just ambandon the project. makes total sense

tidal variation would be much greater if the moon was closer but waves are caused by the wind.

you need to apply trigonometric laws on an isoscele triangle, something like that

no one can answer this with a figure
