You've yet to explain the correlation that drives that train of thought. How does distance link to composition?Seems to be grounds for believing the moon is not of the same composition.

If the moon was as close as it appears in the panel above, you'd think there would be pronounced effects such as devastating tidal impacts or increased seismic/volcanic activity, none of which have ever been noted in DB. That leads me to the conclusion that the moon is less massive than the actual moon, meaning it could have a completely different composition.You've yet to explain the correlation that drives that train of thought.

That makes no sense. It's a cartoon dude, it's the moon. I have no idea why you can't accept this. So what is your counter, its a moon, but a much smaller moon?

That or Toriyama is just god-awful at proportions.
I am accepting it, I'm just pointing out by the artwork that it doesn't appear anywhere near the real life moon. The fact that it's a cartoon is exactly why I'm on board with Roshi being moon level, I just don't think the world in DB is exactly accurate to real life.That makes no sense.

It appears that the issue here is that you've got expectations that we have no reason to believe Toriyama would strictly abide by or care about. It's also worth noting that your view, in and of itself, contains leeway for a different interpretation; for example, that the placement of the DB Moon is simply the only change that occurred, therefore the negative consequences were not factored in. With that being said, your conclusion is just one of multiple that can be drawn from the point that you brought forth (which itself relies on the idea that Toriyama was on-board with these specifics), so it doesn't seem convincing.If the moon was as close as it appears in the panel above, you'd think there would be pronounced effects such as devastating tidal impacts or increased seismic/volcanic activity, none of which have ever been noted in DB.

It's called artistic license. Toriyama stated the moon's distance, take it as is.Also if you want to do a direct comparison, this is how the earth looks from the moon:
Now compare that with what we see in the manga and we can see that it's a radically different distance away. Seems to be grounds for believing the moon is not of the same composition.

I didn't go more in depth in my position because there're many possible counters someone could point out to it. It's an evidence I had for sure, but with the way Dragonball treats power destruction feats, there's always things someone could point out to a seemingly weaker destruction feat being treated as more impressible.@ahill1 If you're referring to distance being irrelevant, then agreed.
Kinda disappointed that you decided not to expand on the Tien stuff that you brought up earlier. Could've been an interesting back and forth, but if you're not up for it, then that's your choice.
