Flat Earth Theory / Planetary retrograde motion
« on: May 05, 2019, 04:05:21 PM »
If my understanding is correct, FE theory has it that all the planets orbit around the Sun, above the plane of the Earth surface. That is what seems to be implied in the Wiki page at least. That being the case, why then do not all the planets show a retrograde motion?
Further, if the diagram in the Wiki page is accurate then should not all the planets show a distinct phase pattern similar to the Moon?
Lastly, again based on the diagram contained in the Wiki, how is it possible for Mars through to Neptune to be visible on the opposite side of the sky to the Sun, while Mercury and Venus are never visible opposite the Sun in the sky?
