Yeah, a quasi-moon doesn’t even orbit the earth, it’s just orbiting the sun on a similar plane an happens to be nearby. But due to it’s small mass, it cant stay for too long before it’s flung out again. It’s only the Earth’s gravity that’s keeping it around a little longer than usual, typically, anyway. There’s lots of types and thus lots of scenarios.
Yeah you’re correct. My comment was referring to the same segment on qi was in which my comment was called out when they claimed there were 2 moons. Depending on the exact episode you watch they state 1, 2, “many” or 0 moons of earth.
One… It’s called the MOON!!!
