Angle of incidence of sunlight on the moon and a ball on earth – with a line accurately marking the edge of the shadow on the ball.

(This is a response to the other post in this sub with a similar image, but I can’t reply with an image in the comments, so here’s another post.)

The angle is *identical*. Not *close*. ***Identical****.

If you’re still having trouble seeing it in real life, I suggest using a ball that isn’t incredibly fuzzy and can show a cleaner shadow line.

Also, cutting off the bottom lip of the ball with the edge of whatever it’s sitting on isn’t helping. Maybe put the *smooth* ball on the tip of a little pedestal (or similar) and take the photo again.
