[Quranic Reflection]: moon absorbed by the sun in the Quran: far future.
RE: [Quranic Reflection]: moon absorbed by the sun in the Quran: far future.
(December 16, 2020 at 8:38 am)WinterHold Wrote: When the sun becomes a red giant, automatically the light from the moon will be dimmed because the light from the sun will be massive + both the earth and the moon will be so close from the sun. So massive that a celestial body that reflects the sun's light will be insignificant.

The distance of the moon from earth is ever-increasing, so it's going to be getting dimmer for quite a while, by the time the sun becomes a red giant its orbit will be about 40% larger that it is today. When the sun is a red giant the drag caused by its extended atmosphere will cause the moon's orbit to decay, drawing it closer to earth (and therefore becoming brighter). When the moon reaches the Roche Limit, tidal forces will pull it apart, forming a Saturn-like ring over the equator. The debris will eventually fall to earth and the planet will be moonless by the time the sun reaches its greatest point of expansion, which may or may not include the earth.
