A dime is 1.8 cm in diameter. Earth's moon is 3.844 x 105 km from Earth and has a diameter of 3.76 x 103 km. At what distance from your eye would you have to hold a dime so that it has the same angular diameter as the full moon (that it would cover the moon.)

ASSIGNMENTS: Video Questions. DO NOT LOSE VIDEO HANDOUTS! Last 20 minutes replayed 12/12, 12/15 after school – if there is interest I can set up a session before school or during lunch. Alternate Observation Assignment will be assigned when I get back tomorrow.
A. Yes, precession will naturally circularize the Earth’s orbit.
B. Yes, precession will eventually reduce the Earth’s axis tilt.
C. No, precession only changes the direction in which the North Pole points, and has nothing to do with the seasons.
D. Yes, precession will make summers occur at the same time, but in what is now the northern spring and southern fall.
E. Yes, but it would take tens of thousands of years, longer than current human history, for this to occur.
Because of precession, someday it will be summer everywhere on Earth at the same time.
