Problem with this illustrators example is that he has the shadow already cast from the moon. While there would be a shadow he doesn't have the 3rd body involved (the sun) to demonstrate the shadows path. Put the sun in there first then watch what the shadow does. The video assumes the nature of what the shadow is doing without using a real example. As the moon crosses in front of the sun it would/should move east to west. The earth anywhere you stand on the it moves faster than the moon rotation around us. That's proof bc it's path in our sky is east to west.
@MrShakamuni01 Says:
If an average eclipse only lasts only 5 hours the moon will travel 2.5 degrees for an average length of a 5 hour eclipse at it takes 28 days to travel 360 degrees. 2.5 degrees of distance even at the equator is only 173 miles. Yet the shadow is projected for thousands of miles well off the equator. This model presented is crap. It would be apparent if the moon in the illustration was moving at an accurate speed of 10 degrees per on rotation of earth instead of like 110 degrees per one rotation of earth at 0:45
@MrShakamuni01 Says:
This is silly. It does not matter hpw hast the moon is moving what matters is how many degrees per a day can it mover relative to earth. The answer is about 12 degrees a day while the earth rotates 360 per a day. Even if the earth was still the most the eclipses can cover is 12 degrees. It is angular speed in degrees that matters.

I think I can explain this in simple words: For us, both the moon and the sun travel from the east to the west because of the rotation of earth around its axis. Now, because the moon travels around us, it takes it more than 24 hours to complete one lap (almost 25 hours). So, RELATIVELY to the sun it moves to the east, that's why the line connecting the sun and the moon travels to the east.

Short answer, the Moon's shadow moves faster than the Earth rotates

My dumb ass thought it would be the coriolis effect
@deadalnix Says:
Fantastic video BUT, the moon rotate around the earth 13 time per year (and there is some extra left), not 12!
@kanma340 Says:
Your model is totally wrong! You tried desperatlly to explain it but your model depiction at 1:10 is manipulative (you did it on purpose??). You put the moon very close to earth (4 times the earth radius) when actually the moon distance from earth is 60 times the earth radius. The linear speed of moon of 2200 mph at this distance, could not overun the rotation linear speed of the earth of 1000mph. So it's still awkward why the totality moves from west to east. NASA must make it's homework better!

Everyone saying 67 because they think they're fun well lemme tell, you're a disappointment a mistake a your mother hated you when you were born ok that's it😋

i have already observed the moons motion real time by using an object near the moon and observing how the moon gets close and far from the object (usually a star or planet)

How was the solar eclipse work in a concave earth?

2:47 Uhh, how do you do this?
@daggywag Says:
Isn’t it density that keeps deep ocean water from freezing? Salt water is most dense at 4C, anything below that it starts becoming less dense and rise back above the 4C layer (as it freezes, hence ice floating on water)
@Daybreak_System Says:
the moon's motion outpaces the rotation of Earth's surface?

mph?

Does the Moon travel FASTER OR SLOWER than Earth's rotation? 1. The Moon travelling FASTER than Earth's rotation. (Links excluded deliberately) a) Solar eclipse scale model - Moon orbit vs Earth rotation 2017 (DelBoy1967) b) Why Do Eclipses Travel WEST to EAST? (minutephysics) c) Why Do Eclipses Happen? (NASA) 2. The Moon travelling SLOWER than Earth's rotation. a) Sun Moon Earth Toy Orrery (Unusual Toy Telescopes) b) Orrery: Sun, Earth, and Moon (LEGO) c) LEGO Orrery - Earth, Moon and Sun (JK Brickworks) d) The Moon's Orbit and Rotation (NASA) e) The Impossible Solar Eclipse (Alan Simpson) Consequently, those who believe in a globe Earth now have one scaled model showing the Moon travelling faster than Earth’s rotation, and another model showing the Moon travelling slower than Earth’s rotation. Which one is it???

Thanks for reply to clarify my 5 d question ,asked in detail and have proof by million it happen ,please add math equation,wath curve and angle of seasons ,of the eclipse recorded and save for review ,. At you leasore
@rodolphedrolet6994 Says:
Ok replied question for collaged taught people,. By (globle) math the moon is in orbit and makes shadows in eclipses,. This light then refracts thought atmosphere,. So question now cell phone recorded the shadows both ways on the ground with the time it took to do this . Why and wow did the shadow stay the same shape on the ground seeing. The earth rotation and atmosphere move 17,000 miles an hour . How did the math work to shadow same with 34,000 miles an hour refracting light ,at the speed of light the same ,size and shape seen by millions recording this math problem ,you (global) system have be proven ,please show me the math though light blocked refecting at angle near equator also , Texas and Florida with other way shadows. Recorded prove happen with millions seen ,,. Can you show the math and proper angle of seasons to have the same size ,shape,and shadows going both ways. And please as a 5 grader if my spelling is not up to par with you cooolagge teachings ,,,,thank for thinking of this question do add math to me ,thank you once again,and please reply if know this math answer,anybody ,anybody interested,to teach me this 5dementonal question ,?

Its all a coincidence. Sums up the entire explanation.

But the moon went from east to west.

@lowercase18 Says:
I'd say the easiest way to explain this is simply by knowing that both the sun and moon travel the same path in the sky in the same direction but at a different "north to south" speed. Every new moon is when the sun is passing in the same area that the moon is supposed to be at. Solar eclipses happen west to east because the sun moves faster than the moon. So the sun passes through the moon. Hence the moon enters it from the west. Correct?

@Dobviews Says:
Because our Moon circles the Earth travels in a counterclockwise direction.
@grillz666 Says:
Everyone can observe for themselves that the Moon travels from the east to the west in the sky, EXCEPT during a solar eclipse, its orbit some how changes and it passes from west to east through the sun. That makes no scientifically sense.
@golchha_sohum Says:
0:49 you said that earth's rotating speed is faster than moon's orbital speed. Then at 1:25 you said earth rotates slower @1000mph. This is creating confusion. Can you please elaborate
