I How Does Special Relativity Affect Perceived Distances Between Planets?

[dwspacetime]

Unfortunately, the answers it gave you do not appear to be good ones.This is unfortunately a fairly common pop science viewpoint, but it doens't work. You will not find it in any actual textbooks or peer-reviewed papers, and you should not be using it.

Do you have any better recommendations? Everything is moving in speed of light is not in that book. It is what I think. Unless I find better explanation, inevitably I am trying to make sense myself.

Ah, ok. Then I withdraw my comment about the book; my comment only applies to what you think.

Do you have any better recommendations?

Yes: learn SR properly from a good textbook, such as Taylor & Wheeler's Spacetime Physics.

Unless I find better explanation

You have already been given better explanations right here in this thread, but apparently they didn't take; instead of listening to them and discarding your own wrong understanding, you are questioning them. So now we're to the point of telling you to go learn properly from a textbook. We can only do so much here; if you're not going to listen to the answers you get here to your questions, from people who know a lot more about the subject than you do, continuing the discussion is pointless.
