Why walk at night and feel that the stars and moon follow you 30

It's a psychological effect, and it could also be that the clouds are moving, giving you the illusion.

I've learned this before, but it's just a phenomenon.

Since only the nearest object can be selected as a reference at night, the direction of progress changes constantly relative to the direction of the reference object's gaze when walking quickly in a straight line, so it is known that the user is really walking fast. But the moon is far away, and the direction of the moon's gaze will hardly change relative to the direction of the user's straight line, so the brain comes up with the illusion that the moon is following it, which is the same as feeling that distant objects are running with the high-speed rail on the high-speed train.

The brain judges the movement of an object based on the choice of the reference object and the change of perspective, and if the eye tells the brain that the angle between the two directions has changed, the brain thinks that the object is moving relative to the reference object, otherwise it thinks that the object is not moving.

A person feels that the moon is walking with him, because the moon is very far away from people, moving a distance on the earth, and the angle of the moon is basically the same, so it feels like the moon is walking with him.

If you have been on a train or a car, you will see a near object passing by in a flash, and the distant object will move slowly, and the farther away it is, the slower it becomes, which is the same as saying that the moon walks with people.

One is because the sun and the moon are huge celestial bodies, far away from us, and there is nothing around us that can block their brilliance, not that they follow us, but that we can't get out of their range wherever we go, just like Sun Wukong can't escape from the palm of the Buddha.

The second is the illusion of relative motion.

At night, when we walk on the road, we will see the moon as if following us, and we will stop, and the moon will not move; During the day, this feeling is also felt towards the sun. It seems that the sun and the moon are following people.

In fact, the sun and the moon will not follow people, we have this feeling, one is because the sun and the moon are huge celestial bodies, far away from us, there is nothing around us to block their brilliance, not that they follow us, but we can't get out of their range wherever we go, just like Sun Wukong can't escape from the palm of the Buddha.

The second is the illusion of relative motion. For example, if you sit on a moving train, you will feel that the trees and fields on both sides are moving, but in fact, it is just the train moving. The sun and moon follow people in the same way, it's not that the sun and moon are walking in the group, it's just that we are walking.

The distance traveled by a man is simply too small compared to the Earth and the Moon. At the same time, the distance of the Moon from the Earth is 380,000 kilometers. When Qi or people look up at the bright moon in the sky, it is in a certain position, when people move, they move the distance, but for the earth, this distance is completely negligible, and the change in the perspective of the moon is also completely negligible, it looks like the moon walking with people.

The Moon is the closest Moon in the universe to Earth. The moon is 380,000 kilometers away from us, so when we look up at the moon and its distance and angle from us have not changed, we will feel that the moon has been following us.

Because the earth rotates from west to east, one rotation per day; At the same time, the Moon revolves around the Earth from west to east, one revolution per month (lunar calendar). In other words, the earth and the moon are moving from west to east. But because the Earth rotates faster than the Moon (angular velocity), people on Earth appear to be following people instead of moving eastward.

I don't know if I made it clear?
