# Sun and Moon

The Sun and Moon, in relation to Earth, display some very remarkable and "coincidental" commonalities.

#### Sun and Moon rotate at the same velocity

Yes, it's true. In addition to the Moon [spinning at the same rate of rotation around the Earth](https://www.space.com/24871-does-the-moon-rotate.html) (27 days), the Sun's average rotational velocity is also [27 days](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_rotation#Bartels'_Rotation_Number).

#### Sun and Moon appear to us as the same diameter

From [Astronomy.com](https://www.astronomy.com/science/why-is-the-moon-exactly-the-same-apparent-size-from-earth-as-the-sun-surely-this-cannot-be-just-coincidence-the-odds-against-such-a-perfect-match-are-enormous/):

> Why is the Moon exactly the same apparent size from Earth as the Sun? Surely this cannot be just coincidence; the **odds against such a perfect match are enormous**.

In fact, the distance to diameter ratio from Sun to Earth and Moon to Earth are both about exactly 108 (varying slightly due to slight elliptical orbits). **108** is a very interesting number: ***three*** to the ***3rd*** multiplied by ***two*** to the ***2nd***.

`108 = 3*3*3 * 2*2 = 3^3 * 2^2`.

> Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the **day** from the **night**; and let them be for **signs** and **seasons**, and for **days** and **years**
