That the Yard could face early May flood rains. I hope he is wrong.

Well played! Let Mr 108 continue ignoring elliptical orbits!!!

Those numerical relationships—where the ratios involving 108 appear—are indeed intriguing and have captured the imagination of many people. However, while they seem almost poetic or symbolic, they are coincidental rather than exact scientific truths.

Now, to your point about orbits being elliptical: The Earth's orbit around the Sun and the Moon's orbit around the Earth are examples of celestial orbits that are actually elliptical rather than perfectly circular. According to Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion, a planet's orbit around the Sun is an ellipse, with the Sun serving as one of the ellipse's two foci.

In elliptical orbits:
The distance between the orbiting body and the central body changes depending on where the orbiting body is along its path. For example, Earth is closer to the Sun during perihelion (early January) and farther away during aphelion (early July).
The Moon also has an elliptical orbit around the Earth. It’s closest to Earth at perigee and farthest at apogee.
That said, the numbers mentioned—like the Sun's diameter being 108 times Earth's diameter or the Sun-Earth distance being 108 times the Sun's diameter—are rough approximations These simplified ratios are based on average distances and sizes and don't account for the variations caused by elliptical orbits.

So while the orbits aren't perfect circles, it's still fascinating how these approximate ratios create a sense of harmony and symmetry in the cosmos. It’s a delightful reminder of the beauty within the universe, even if it’s not entirely precise!

Dont worry , the host is clueless about what I wrote above... She is concerned I dislike Rowley owing to him being an African...ignoring 5,000 deaths under his tenure. The majority being young African males

Weather's been weird in the Caribbean over the last decade.

But besides that I think it's sad that no one responds to the low- value poster's copy pastes and ai generated nonsense. Thank goodness that Halliwell throws a bone occasionally. cry

............its funny how you read my postings...

Stick with that Rum, it shows by your posting.

Your posts are repetitive because there are not many brain cells left.

Comparable to the Orange Menace in the US.

Rum till I die in Pasea.

Oh, please continue posting and demonstrating that Courtesy was right when he pointed out your lack of intelligence; it was not a compliment.
