Comment on does someone who lives very far away from me (for example 1900 miles) see the same night sky as me? (as in moon, stars, etc)

It really depends!

If you’re talking latidutally, for example, they’re 1900 miles down South, then there would be a noticable difference. If the difference was in longitude, then your view of the night sky would be delayed to them depending on the difference in time zone.

Fun fact: the visible orientation of the Moon changes depending on your latitude, with the Moon in Australia for instance appearing to be upside down!
