		As the Sun is actually much further away than the Moon, the Moon’s radius is given by the projection of a line from the edge of its umbra to the opposite edge of the penumbra on the disk of the Earth (Figure 7).
		The diameter of the Moon is the distance D between the edge of the Penumbra and the opposite edge umbra as projected on the disk of the Earth.
