Someone posted about Americans being able to drive for like 13 hours in Texas and still be in Texas. The punchline was that Europeans can’t comprehend it. Then a bunch of euro memes came out showing similar distances in Europe.
Perhaps related, there was a news post today about an effort to develop a standardized system for time on the moon.
How long is a moon hour? Since the moon is a quarter of the earth, I guess a moon hour is like 15 minutes which makes 69 moon hours a total of less than a dog day so…
Moon is tidally locked to the earth. So its day length is the same as it’s orbit. That’s 29.5 earth days which (using the logic you supplied) means that a lunar hour is approx 1.23 earth days.
