    What why? Their moon is still the same size and while orbiting their same size Earth it moves between that Earth and their same size sun to cast a shadow on that Earth. Wouldn’t it?

        Okay, makes sense, but isn’t the distance between Earth and the moon uh… shri… grow… changing over time? So at some point in the past or future (or maybe even currently?), the distance would have been / would be the correct one for total eclipses.
