The Moon Kerberos of Pluto is actually very very close to the size of the sun in the sky (of by being 0.0099° compared to the suns 0.0089°, around 11%), so the earth isn't the only planet (if you count Pluto as planet, otherwise, but it's still a solar body you can stand on where a moon is roughly the size of the sun).
- sidewndr46 4y agoDoesn't Pluto have some weird elliptical orbit? Does it not matter enough to change the apparent size of the sun as seen from Pluto's surface?
- zaarn 4y agoI used the current values, they should be valid for a reasonable timeframe. Edit: only by a few percents; the distances are too large to appreciably change the visible size of the sun in the sky.
