    I gotta admit though that it’s a pretty awesome coincidence that the moon is the size and at a distance that makes it look approximately the same size as the sun and allows us to have amazing looking eclipses.

      But the moon is slowly drifting away from the Earth so it will not be true in the relatively near future.

          Okay, not as near as I thought, although I did mean “relatively” compared to the age of the Earth.

    Pretty sure the sun is way more than seven times brighter than the moon

    Edit: after a quick internet search, the sun looks to be about 400,000 times brighter than the moon

      That might be, but the moon is more important, since it shines at night when it’s dark. The sun is only in the sky during the day, when there’s plenty of light anyway.

      Technically, TECHNICALLY, the Sun is infinitely brighter than the Moon since it emits no light at all ☝️

        eh, as a videographer who measures and labels the output of lights professionally sometimes, we count bounced lights as lights.
