You are absolutely right.
I made the comment so fast I forgot about square meter law, a so basic thing.
I just used the proportion relation of size variation (like height/diameter of Moon or SUN) and distance, but forgot to consider both dimentions to make the calculation.
3,1262277660168379 times closer to be more exact.

So, if you are twice as far from a source of light, noise, or other radiation, you receive one-quarter as much energy. If the sun decreased its output by 90%, planets would need to get 3.16 times closer to to compensate. |
