Sun set, Is the sun moving away?
« on: August 21, 2015, 09:44:46 PM »
Why during a sunset can I see the sunlight on the bottom of clouds?
 When you see  this  is it not  the sun setting at an angle and its rays  shinning  up under the clouds?

Under the flat earth model the sun should not shine up and under the clouds because its moving away and becoming smaller, no?

Will someone please explain this for me if its been dealt with already.

This has been covered previously, but if you are new to this forum, I think the explanation you would get from the flat earthers would be more interesting to you. Question. IF you would get an answer from the flat earthers ?

The sun is illuminating the semi-transparent cloud from the side at a slight upwards angle and you are below the cloud looking up at  it.

Light does not always travel in straight lines.  It is not more complicated than that. 

Plus, the sunrays reflect off of the earth.
