On a flat earth the sun has to, mysteriously, spiral in and outwards between the two. Now, the northern one (circle to travel) is smaller then the southern one on a flat earth. That means the sun has to travel faster when it's over the tropic of capricorn then when it's over the tropic of cancer. Fact. The sun travels at the same speed in the northern hemosphere as it does in the southern hemosphere! So, there is no flat earth. No matter what all other arguments may be.

Now all you have to do is find the ball earth, because I keep looking but can't find it: Quoting: leader I've found it through reasoning and traveling around the world. The sun travels with the same speed throughout the year which means no flat earth... Your basing this on a man made clock. Does the sun stay in the sky longer in the summer? Does the sun stay in the sky less in the winter? Slower and faster is proven by the seasons. Lol the sun isn’t moving across the sky any slower or faster. It’s taking a different route across the sky, which means it can either take longer to set after rising or take a shorter amount of time. Go to the polar regions, and you can see phenomenon such as the midnight sun, where the sun will just appear to be spinning endlessly in a circle just above the horizon. That phenomenon can only occur on a spherical Earth. Works on a flat earth as well. Sun is rotating closer to the pole and will not set to those near the pole. |

Unless you Flerfers are gonna claim that the length of a day in the South is different, then the increased distance traveled by the Sun in the South (or when it's closer to the edge of your 'disc') would require greater speed. And if your having a picnic at the tip of south America at that time of year, it's gonna be a short picnic. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 83981389 United States 08/08/2022 03:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I recently had a mental dilemma where i couldnt understand why it was winter in Australia and summer in America, so before your brain signals you to red flag me, consider this, if at Christmas time its said to be the winter solstace the point that the earth is farthest from the sun, then how is it summertime in Australia if the whole earth is farthest away from the sun, then its reversed for the summer solstace where we are supposed to be closest to the sun, thats considered winter in Australia so dont try to say its the tilt of the earth because that doesnt explain so much distance. Quoting: TheTrollKing The seasons are based on the angle of radiation coming from the light of the sun. Consider the globe earth and the sun rising and even setting on the horizon, there is lots of atmosphere that the light needs to get through at a very horizontal angle, and the moisture in the air, the clouds, are capturing or blocking a lot of it before it gets to you more so indirectly, so it's not as warm, the atmosphere is cold. Then imagine that the angle in which the radiation from the sun hits you become less horizontal and more vertical, the radiation is a straight shot to you, and you feel it more directly, it's very hot. Therefore it's not the distance between earth and sun that causes seasons but the angle of the light from the sun. That's possible because of the wobble of the earth. The earth is tilted on an axis, it rotates slowly, and it wobbles slowly, and the wobble is what allows for seasons. In winter time in the northern hemisphere the sun is further to the south from the north pole, so the angle of radiation coming into the northern hemisphere is sharper and that's why it gets colder. The sun at that time is more directly overhead in the southern hemisphere and there is summer. Again, sun-earth distance doesn't cause seasons. When the earth wobbles so that the sun begins to be more directly overhead in the northern hemisphere then the angle of radiation going into the southern hemisphere is sharper and less radiation is being absorbed by the earth. I hope that helps. Take a ball, tilt it, spin it on the tilt, and give it a wobble like a top. Use a pencil and imagine it is the axis of the earth. Wobble it from the center so it makes an hourglass shape with a circle on top and a circle on the bottom, then tilt it, then imagine a ball surrounding it. |

Dumbass OP That is actually quite easy, Polaris has moved over millions of years, it just moves very slowly in the sky. [link to earthsky.org (secure)] The North Star, also known as Polaris, appears to stay fixed in our northern sky. It marks the location of the sky’s north pole, or the north celestial pole, the point around which the whole northern sky – full of stars – turns. That’s why you can always use Polaris to find the direction north. So the North Star doesn’t appear to move. But it does move. If you took its picture, you’d find that it makes its own little circle around the exact point of the north celestial pole every day. That’s because the North Star is offset a little – by about 0.65 degrees – from celestial north. So Polaris makes a circle that’s 1.3 degrees in diameter each day. When it’s closest to the celestial pole in about 100 years, at a distance of only 0.45 degrees, it’ll make a daily circle of only 0.90 degrees. Where does this movement – or in Polaris’ case, lack of movement – come from? It comes from Earth’s spin. Earth spins under the sky once a day, and our spin causes the sun in the daytime – and the stars at night – to rise in the east and set in the west. But the North Star is a special case. Because it lies almost exactly above Earth’s northern axis, it’s like the hub of a wheel. It doesn’t rise or set. Instead, it appears to stay put in the northern sky. But it does move and it's movement is tied to the rotation of the Earth. |
