Hello everyone,
The favorite flat earth map proposes a circular earth. To be real this means that at various points in the year, the sun moves over circles of different perimeters (or lengths or circumference). However at any point on earth the days are always 24 hours long - allowing for shorter or longer daylight hours or nights. The total is always 24 hours - whether at Capricorn or Cancer or the Equator or elsewhere. Agreed?
*Cancer could is (90 - 23.5) or 66.5 degrees from the North Pole (center of the circle)
*Capricorn would be (90 + 23.5) or 113.5 Degrees from the North Pole
Calculating I found that (3.142 X 2 X 113.5) / (3.142 X 2 X 66.5) = 1.7
Meaning that the Circle at Capricorn would be 1.7 times as long as that at Cancer.
For the length of the day to be constant, 24 hours across the world, it would require the sun moves 70% faster at Capricorn than Cancer.
Interesting ....
Meaning that the sun would move across the sky faster - if you were in South Africa than in Egypt (or Europe). Really? Does it happen?
Also, it would mean that the daylight hours in South Africa must be shorter when the sun is over there than the night hours during the same period - after all, it is the same sun, moving faster, and also covering a wider area on the ground. Does this happen?
Certainly not. In fact evidence is that when the sun is over Capricorn in the South, the daylight hours are longer. How?
