fun fact: the solar eclipse, as we experience it, is a uniquely Earthly phenomenon. we haven't seen another planet out there with exactly the right ratio of sizes and orbits so that a moon will block out a star but not its corona.
Regarding sizes, distances and other measurements, I can recommend watching
"Hidden Mathematics - Ancient Knowledge of Space, Time & Cosmic Cycles" with #RandallCarlson, which shows lots of so called "coincidences" - almost as if everything was designed on purpose.
