[edit] Speed of Light

You use the formula 2 * pi * r for the lunar orbit, which is incorrect as the orbit is not a circle but an ellipse. If you use the perigee = 364 397 km and the apogee = 406 731 km Moon, you get the circumference to be 2426217.9788 and not 2 * 3.1416 * 384264 = 2414407.5648 as you use. You can easily see that this correction makes your argument invalid. Please delete the article. NN 19:12, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

The lunar orbit relative to Earth is a low eccentricity ellipse. Most astronomy textbooks calculate the length of the lunar orbit manually by the following equivalent circle method: The radius of the equivalent circle is R = 384267 km. It is for simplicity, this radius is used... if u can accurately apply the elliptical track here, it should makes no difference in the final result... -- NotPuppet 06:06, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I have indeed accurately calculated the circumference of the elliptical orbit. It is 2426217.9788 KM. Now please delete this article. NN 20:01, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

do u know what is meant by perigee and apogee... :-) please go through these links here... that figure itself will make u realize your mistake.. hight of stupidity.. !!! if u r really interested in calculating elliptical track, use major axis/minor axis or mean radius/Ellipticity.

Are u trying to challenge NASA!!! funny... Nice way of calculation.. (here is the NASA fact sheet) -- NotPuppet 11:01, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
