Did you know that the suns diameter is 400 times larger than that of the moon?

Yet the moon is 400 times close to us than the sun is, so they appear the same size - hence we get total eclipses from time to time.

Am I the only one to think that it's a hefty coicidence for this to occur naturally? Surely it proves something? Not sure what it does prove, but it must be something...

is it exactly 400 times? No. you could go into decimal places to the extent that the similarity is bo no means an exact power.
