If you put Saturn in water, you have a lot of water.

We are moving through space at 530km/s relative to???

The Earth is drifting away from the moon.

Wait a second, the sun is blasted with solar winds, causing the sun itself to lose all of these kilograms?

Uranus used to be called that indeed, then my wife started getting suspicious of me.

Please explain how the fuck is earth drifting away from the moon if the moon orbits it?

The sun blasts away solar winds, it isnt blasted with solar winds.

I don't have any other problems with your contradictions, too bad your anon and will never reply.

If you stood on the moon, the Earth would be drifting away from you. And the gravitational force the earth has on the moon is the same as the moon has on the Earth, because of some odd mathematics and a law i cant remember the name of

If you were on the moon, you'd be drifting away from the earth

Yep, and the Earth would be drifting away from you. I was trying to turn the tables by putting him on the Moon so that he'd see the Earth drift away from him. I think placing ones perspective around is a great way of understanding. Perspective and relativity are closely bound, and i play around with both of them in my mind. Trust me on this one

You have to look at the solar system as a... well, system, and you see that the Earth is traveling the same path while the moon is deviating.

From that perspective, that is true. But from the moons perspective, it's not. The moon is drifting away from the Earth, and the Earth is drifting away from the Moon. The force that the earth puts on the moon is the same as the moon puts on the earth. The force you put on the earth is the same as the earth to you. I remember hearing that. My memory is sadly poor, so i'm not fully sure. I dunno what it's called, but i think vice-verca will do for me

motion is relative.
