Had someone (not a flat earther but someone who questions everything) hold an egg up to a globe, and shine a light behind it. No matter the angle, the shadow would not get extremely smaller than the egg. How is a huge moon casting such a small dark shadow during the eclipse, specificallythe path of totality? I know there’s an explanation, but could you so I can go explain to him like he’s 1?
Thanks!!!

The moon is 200-300,000 miles away, the sun is ~93 million miles away. Do some math and get a model of the same scale and you’ll see closer to the true results
