The atmoplane in FET isn't perfectly transparent (nor is the atmosphere in RET).
Is this really that hard for you?
My first thought of all this F.E. "crap" was honestly, stoopid. As spelled, ..correctly? (My humor..) but after months of intense research I've joined the truthers. And I can honestly say if not flat, it's definitely not globular.
Why can't it be a globe?I watched a 4hr documentary... I imagine most every one of you has seen it.
If you come across it, please link it.Anyhow, what I don't have the means to do is measure for myself what relations these have on a flat map, or where I can go to observe and study what others have done.
Any info?
Are you asking for our opinion? I am a REr. I would like to see the video to see what you're talking about, first. Then, calculations should be done to see if it could work on a Flat Earth. If not, there's evidence the world isn't flat, basically.
Finally another Round Earther like me
RE here. I believe I may help.
First, welcome!
Second, read their Wiki, it answers most of your questions: wiki.tfes.org
The wiki doesn't answer the most FUNDAMENTAL questions
It can't even answer my questions regarding how items can exist on a flat Earth

First and foremost, the sun is NOT FLAT
Otherwise sunlight would not be able to reach the "Flat Earth"
Besides most of you guys are quoting from the Flat Earth wiki and do not truely understand what it means. And before anyone jumps to conclusion how the Earth is flat or 2 Dimensional I suggest looking from the other point of view, and check if the proof that the Earth is 3 Dimensional and spherical is logical (Well I find it perfectly logical as well)
You have to look from both points of views before jumping to conclusion that the Earth is flat
"Earth isn't a planet" is the general answer I've seen. The why varies some, but is generally summed up as: Only place with life, why should it be the same?The sun is not flat and this leads to this question - Why is the Earth the only flat planet?
I can prove that all the other planets are not flat using a diagram but I don't have time
I've seen FEs claim that just because the other planets are round, doesn't mean Earth has to be.

QuoteWhen the moon and sun are at the same altitude one half of the lunar surface is illuminated and pointing towards the sun, This is called the First Quarter Moon. When the observer looks up he will see a shadow cutting the moon in half. The boundary between the illuminated and unilluminated hemispheres is called the terminator.
When the moon is below the sun's altitude the moon is dark and a New Moon occurs.
When the moon is above the altitude of the sun the moon is fully lit and a Full Moon occurs.
The time between two full moons, or between successive occurrences of the same phase, is about 29.53 days (29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes) on average. This denotes the cycle of alternating altitudes.
Does this description of the phases of the moon match anything you have ever observed? The moon moves above and below the sun? This would mean the full moon is much further away and smaller than the new moon. Is this observed?
"below the sun's altitude the moon is dark and a New Moon occurs" I think this implies that you can't see the new moon because the the lighted side is facing away. Which is actually correct. But in the FE belief (see their diagrams and animations) this could only be true for part of the Earth. If the moon was exactly between an Earth bound observer and the sun so that the moon could not be seen, it would not be in that alignment for other parts of the "flat" Earth.
Ever notice that calendars you buy at the store have the phases of the moon printed on days throughout the month? In the FE models shared here, the phases of the moon would vary every day from one part of the world to another. Do you have to buy a different calendar for each part of the world so the moon phases will be correct? Of course not.
