Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

OK Mr. James... i didnt start the offtopicness so i hope it wasnt JUST me who got an infraction.

So if the Sun is 500ish miles away... What, and how far away, are other stars?

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Easy tiger, it was a harmless fact.

And no they dont, the batteries take so much to produce thats why their higher CO2 emissions.

the prius has a lifespan of 7 to 9 years. Scientific fact. Cars produce less CO2 over 50 years than the Prius does over 10.

So what? Only gay atheists drive cars. Good and TRUE Americans drive SUVs like Jesus intended and trade them in every other year. I personally and planing to buy a brand new Ford Expedition this spring.

What kind of plebeian scum do you think we are that we would drive a "seven year old" car?

If i comment on this Mr. James will give me another infraction most likley... But for the record, no, i hate the prius, hence my slander against it in previous posts.

No views on what stars are?

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Indeed! But over here in London if you drive an SUV or a 4x4 youre going to get thrown onto your own funeral pyre! lol.

Not only that Mr Brown will take £25 every time you want to drive into London!

Why would anybody want to drive in London? Everybody there drives on the wrong side of the road!

Real drivers take their used Hummers out on the Oklahoma panhandle.

This is a Creation Science thread. How comes we are suddenly talking about cars?

Comrade Caboose wants to take our godly AMERICAN SUVs away and replace them with homer econo boxes. Doubtless he will give us all manginas curtesy of Socialized medicine.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Talking about the Prius, did you know if you drove your car from 20 years ago till the day you die you'd still create less CO2 emessions than what it takes to make a new Prius... little useless fact for you

And this has what to do with your "research?"

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

About the sun, I keep hearing all this nonsense from environwackos claiming that we can save the earth with solar energy. I know you'll all agree that isn't possible, especially since the earth needs to be saved from sinners (ie Democrats), not from the global warming hoax.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Here is total undeniable proof that the sun is less than 500 miles from earth and much smaller than the earth.

Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

The sun is a star and if all the stars can fall to earth and land on it so can the sun. The actual size of the core of the sun is about as big as a very large beach ball just like all the other stars. Other stars that we see are about the size of figs.

Good point, Brother TC. And notice how small them stars are on the American flag behind Godly Dick Cheney...



...But them scientists claim that those stars are millions of miles wide! How can anyone believe such nonsense? But then again, these same scientists believe in that evolution myth and global warming hoax. You just can't reason with these people! Well, we shouldn't be surprised - Scientology is a Satanic religion. There's no hope for them Scientists unless they convert to Baptism and read the KJB - then they'll know The Truth.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

The sun is at an average distance of about 93,000,000 miles (150 million kilometers) away from Earth. It is so far away that light from the sun, traveling at a speed of 186,000 miles (300,000 meters) per second, takes about 8 minutes to reach us. Like all of the other planets in our solar system, Earth does not travel around the sun in a perfect circle. Instead its orbit is elliptical, like a stretched circle, with the sun just off the center of the orbit. This means that the distance between Earth and the sun changes during a year. At its closest, the sun is 91.4 million miles (147.1 million km) away from us. At its farthest, the sun is 94.5 million miles (152.1 million km) away.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Praise the Lord! He has shown me how to prove scientifically that the sun is no more than 500 miles overhead.

Here is the proof:

To start off with, the sun is hot enough to glow yellow, so we can use Wein's Displacement Law to determine the temperature.

Wein's Displacement Law:
Peak Wavelength in meters = displacement constant / temperature in Kelvin

Yellow light has a wavelength between 570nm and 580nm, so we'll solve for 575nm. Since we are working with nanometers rather than meters, we'll simplify the math by multiplying the displacement constant by 10^9.

575 = 2897768.5/T
575 * T = 2897768.5
T = 2897768.5/575
T = 5039.6° K (8611.6° F)

So the sun is about 5039.6° Kelvin.

Now, the average temperature of the earth is 59° F, or about 288° K. The mean temperature gradient of the troposphere is 6° K/km, so let's solve for the distance.

d = (5039.6 - 288)/6
d = 791.9 km (491.1 miles)

There you have it. The sun is roughly 491.1 miles overhead. Depending on the exact shade of yellow (whether it's closer to 570nm or 580nm), this figure could be off by as much as 5 miles. However, I don't have a spectrometer handy, and I'm willing to live with an uncertainty of ±5 miles. It's not like I'm planning to visit anytime soon -- my shoes would melt .

The LORD is so good to me. Praise the sweet name of Jesus.

Too bad byoboob didn't cut and paste from a real study that shows how the results are obtained like the Pastors study.
