The Moon's Orbit is WEIRD
- Like, you might imagine that a point on earth's equator draws out loops as the earth spins along its orbit, but because of how fast the earth is moving around the sun, points on the earth's surface don't trace out loops, but, like the moon, trace out something more like a wobbly circle.
