If you had watched the video you wouldn't ask. The moon's orbital plane around the earth is not directly aligned with earth's orbital plane around the sun. Most of the time the moon is above or below the earth's orbital plane. The only time the Earth cast a shadow on the Moon is during a lunar eclipse. Which are the rare and brief periods when Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon crosses earth's orbital plane. -

Everything you've said is total bullshit. -

Well this morning the Earth's shadow was visible on the moon..I watched the total eclipse on the drive in.
"On November 8, 2022, the Moon passed fully into Earth's shadow and produced a total lunar eclipse. Totality took place between 5:17 a.m. and 6:42 a.m. EST (10:17 and 11:42 UTC), with the partial and penumbral phases of the eclipse continuing until 8:50 a.m. EST (13:50 UTC)" -
2022-11-08 at 2:29 PM UTCOh and this is why the Earth's/Moon's shadow isn't always visible...the orbits are tilted so the shadows don't often fall in the space occupied by Earth or moon (depending on if it's a lunar or solar eclipse).

I've already explained that to Billy Goat. But if you've ever been around goats you know how stubborn they are. -

it's also Edited: The Orbit is Elliptical a bit. It's why you have super moons that are like 30 thousand miles closer which makes a huge difference. it's almost like an early morning sun cresting it gets so bright outside.
I never noticed in it the city with light pollution but suddenly living way out in the far suburbs around farmland the sky is pitch dark on a new moon but a super moon is like someone shining a flashlight into your house through blinds.
sitting in the backyard, you hear crickets and frogs chirping and when the new moon came up, nothing. dead silence then birds start chirping.
the moon phase literally affects humans as we all know lunacy comes from the word lunar. and believe it or not, there is something called a Shaved Moon where the worse nights aren't a full moon but the shaved moon the night after a total moon. -
2022-11-08 at 6:16 PM UTCIf you raised a really long pole with a massive flag on it at night, you would be able to see the shadow of that flag on the Moon with binoculars.

You're just trying to be silly because you were wrong about the shadow of the earth is why we see half moons and new moons and crescent moons and so on.
the shadow of the earth only casts on the moon during eclipses.
Also I meant to say elliptical not eclipses orbit. -

That wouldn't effect where the shadows fall, the shape of the orbit doesn't matter, it's the position of the planetary bodies in relation to the ecliptic that determines where shadows fall.
If all bodies were on the same orbital planes then we'd have many more eclipses...2 a month...one when the moon is between the sun and Earth, one when the Earth is between Sun and moon...regardless of the shape of those orbits.
We don't because of the tilt of orbits...not the shape. -

You're going by what you were told to believe all your life. You know, there was an actual point in time where you would be summarily executed, simply for stating the Earth isn't flat. Everyone and their dog believed the Earth was flat, proving that just because a lot of people believe something, on a mass, global scale, does not automatically make it true. And you were around for the Thalidomide Babies, I'm sure. Everything you've been told by the Establishment has been a lie - they being the Children of the Father of the Lie. -
2022-11-08 at 6:42 PM UTCHere's a paint drawing I just did...obviously not to scale "
Again the shape of the orbits don't matter as far as shadow placement goes, all that would effect is the apparent size of the shadow, as bodies are closer the shadow would be bigger, further away, smaller...but you'd still have a shadow.
The lack of shadow is entirely because of the tilt of the orbit(s) -

Im not disagreing but just adding to its behavior.
it's like a centrifuge where it gets a bit far distance and this may have to do with the tides as well. it pulls and releases of sorts due to the tilt and slightly off ellipses. tides occur anyways but you get higher than normal during a supermoon and lower than normal when the moon is farther off.
I lived half a block from the beach in the bay on an island in which when the moon was its farthest position and during natural low tide, the water would go out almost a quarter to half a mile. you would walk out and grab all kinds of cool Conch shells and people look for pearls in oysters. then on the opposite, if you have a supermoon and it's stormy af (which happens maybe 1 in 10-15 years of storms over weeks, supermoon, high tide, the waterline raises up 6-7 feet over the sand barrior put in place and the beach front road floods a bit. apparently, its getting worse. even in San Francisco, the water lifts onto the street of the Embarcadero which apparently never happened before. when the combination of a supermoon and long storms and high tide hit at the same time, it will eventually make it difficult to own a business on embarcadero street. especially when it just becomes the norm. regardless of the moon

You having a stroke? -
2022-11-08 at 6:51 PM UTCbtw..the apparent different sizes of the moon is an optical illusion...the moon appears bigger when near the horizon because it's close to objects your brain can compare it too (the Horizon etc) vs high in the sky with nothing around your brain can compare it to. If you think about the times you've seen a "big moon" it's always low in the sky isn't it...that's the illusion.
It's really not discernibly bigger to the naked eye during it's perigee or apogee.
