on 100km diameter it might look that way.
if the umbra had 3 meters diameter you'd still think it's magic and has no other explanation than God.
perfect alignment would have been if the umbra was as wide as the Earth.

The Moon used to orbit much closer to Earth so it wasn't always like this. The real issue is why the Moon's orbit happens to be at the exact distance to cover the Sun right when humans developed into a civilization that can observe and record this phenomena. It's almost like somebody is trying to tell us something.

the moon orbit doesn't fucking perfectly cover the sun. the shadow is 100km or something wide. lol. it only looks that way to whoever is in it. if the shadow was smaller it would still look the same to people in the shadow. same if it was Earth wide.
people are fucking retarded

Okay so do a little experiment for me OP, take your hand and ball it up into a fist, and hold that in front of your face.
Now move your fist slowly further away from your face, and take note of its relative size from your point of observation as you do.
Okay, now that you've done that go ahead and move it back toward your face as fast as you can.

You are retarded. You cannot the the shadow in other parts of the world because it is not aligned. So, for you to understand imagine we were in Jupiter, the moons would either cover the sun with spare space or not cover the sun completely.

They're not the exact same size, sometimes the moon is too far away from earth due to its orbit being slightly elliptical and you get an annular eclipse instead of a total eclipse

as long as it has an umbra, people inside the umbra will notice they are the same size (relatively)
if there was only penumbra, you'd see a ring around it, which would make for enough light for an umbra to not exist.

Then you don't see the corona halo and it's nowhere near as impressive when seen from the perspective of a human on earth's surface.
Very very very narrow range of orbital distances/paths and sun-moon sizes will produce this effect.

What's more interesting to me me is the 28 month lunar calendar. If the Earth had less mass, wouldn't it have a shorter year? If the Earth had less mass, could it have a month/year calendar that could perfectly match the lunar cycle? Exactly how much mass is this? Surely it can be calculated. right?
Would a Younger Dryas deluge amount of new mass be enough to change the year cycle from 12month/28 days to 12month/30,31 days?

The Moon obviously played some role in the development of the human reproductive cycle. If the Moon was much farther or much closer maybe we wouldn't have evolved to ask this question. It's just the anthropic principle again. It's like asking why does the Earth just happen to be the right size and the right distance from the Sun to maintain liquid water and a dense temperate atmosphere. If it wasn't, we wouldn't be here to ask the question.

it isn't a fucking coincidence tho. if it was closer or farther away from earth thus ruining the ratio bullshit it would still have a smaller/larger shadow on earth, and being in it would still look like the moon is similar to sun size, in the sky.

there's clearly a point where if far enough a shadow is no longer possible on earth, smallest possible one is above earth, you only get the penumbra, in which case it starts to look as smaller than the sun.
but if you are in that fucking shadow, it would look "similar", even if 1km or 10.000km wide shadow. holy shit

>>16120623
IKR what a moron. To me, the more wonderful coincidence is that, because the moon is gradually moving farther away from the Earth, this means that in pre-history, say during the time of the dinosaurs, the moon appeared significantly larger in the sky and covered the sun more easily during eclipses, and that in the distant future, the moon will never cover the entire sun, and total eclipses will no longer occur.

I went to the exact midpoint of totality and it was awesome. The halo effect around the moon was beautiful just way cooler to see than I could have imagined.
All that said, I think the thing that was most surprising is how bright a tiny sliver of the sun is. 99% totality still just looked like the sun in the sky, to the naked eye. 90% blocked really just looked mostly like normal daytime but then all of a sudden the sun totally blacked out with this feathery silver ring around it. There is no comparison between 99% and 100% totality, they are completely different experiences. 99% is not worth your time, 100% is hard to even process.

...and as far as the arguments in this thread, I, >>16120705, understand. I did not do a lot of research before and did not expect the halo or the apparent same size. I did not expect that. It must be a coincident that the relative size of the moon, as viewed from our perspective, isn't too small for an eclipse or so large as that there is no visible halo around it.

That's even crazier it is either a ring (ancient symbol) or covered entirely. It's not like the moon is ever just a tiny dot. Moon itself is a constant unlikely thing. A giant sphere for day AND night? Huh? Science doesn't predict that it only predicts sun...

Without the sun AND moon there is no life. It is not just about the sun... moon is a hidden world and power. Scientist sometimes think if the moon AND sun do something then it is all the sun... not true. Moon shines from the suns reflection but without the moon there is no sphere of light at night

there's a significant difference in the amount of ambient light, it's just that your eyes adjust and there aren't the differences in colors that you get at sunrise/sunset so it's harder to notice.
you are correct that there's no comparison at all to totality, though. a partial/annular eclipse is just kind of neat, a total eclipse is utterly unlike any other experience.

If it was slightly closer it'd cover up the corona as well and be a much more total total eclipse and our ancestors would have made a big deal about that instead.
The real folly here is thinking that humans wouldn't have come up with some other astronomical occurrence to obsess over if it hadn't been this particular type of eclipse.

Except the umbra was big enough to completely block out the corona and then-some, you could have a literally perfect visible night sky in the middle of the day.

Going into and later out of totality was like flipping a light bulb switch in whatever period of time is shorter than an instant.
What stunned me the most was how the sky stayed blue all the way up to the ring of light and then there's just a hole missing. The filtered telescope images where the corona is surrounded by blackness are really unfortunate.

it is an unlikely coincidence, but it's not as unlikely as some people think
there isn't just one possible perfect arrangement where this could happen
orbits aren't perfectly circular, so the moon constantly moves closer and further away, but you would always perceive this "miracle" every eclipse, because the distance to the sun is 390 times further away, the varying distance of the moon is negligible. So my point is there is a lot of leeway in this "perfect" arrangement.
the fact that we exist as a result of a planet that evolved complex life is more of a miracle
