I can't make head nor tail of your post Brian. Regardless of who's right or wrong, your figures are wrong. Jupiter at 440 million, brought 100x
closer as you say, would be 4.4 million kms, not 44, and at that distance
[only 11 x the distance to the moon] it would look enormous [100x
normal, or 3.72x the size of the moon.] An object 10kms away brought 100x closer would look to be 100 metres away, not 1km. [100x closer].
