Also, if I measure something to be 32' does that mean its the same as the sun? Or how does it work?
Are you measuring "angular size" or "apparent size"?
Consider the following:
1. The horizon is an object.
2. The vanishing point is a point on the horizon line.
3. The vanishing point is the result of convergence on a plane.
4. A sextant measures angles between two (2) objects.
5. Angular size requires two (2) separate measurements.
6. Angular size is measured from the vanishing point. i.e. horizon<object
7. Angular size never changes as it is a measure of physical distance.
8. One (1) minute of arc equals one (1) nautical mile.
9. The sides of an object are objects in their own right.
10. Apparent size only requires one (1) measurement.
11. Apparent size is measured from the viewer. i.e. eye<object
12. Apparent size changes with distance to the viewer.
So lets measure "angular size" and measure the Moon; its angular size is 32'. Is it the same physical size as the Sun?
If your answer is that I claim the Sun & Moon are projected holograms and not physical objects then it's time to find some rope for yourself because, I am referring to the physical distance they occupy.
You have to be on plane, this is how it works. If you're on a globe (and it can only be a globe no matter what) then none of this works, angular size can't even be measured. The whole concept of measuring distance based on an angle is a ridiculous concept worthy mockery on a globe. Do you see, can you understand?
