Flat Earth Theory / 25 Questions for Flat Earthers!

1. On a Flat Earth Model, how can the Earth ever get in between the Sun and the Moon to cause a Lunar Eclipse? It cant be a 3rd celestial body because that object would also block out the stars, which doesn't match observations. If the moon emits its own cooling light, then why do we see it black during a Solar Eclipse?
2. How do the Moon Phases even work on a Flat Earth Model? On an FE Model, the Moon and Sun would be so close to Earth that the angles would be very extreme, and the Moon phases would be different for observers all over the world, again, it doesn't match observations.
3. How do you explain Impact Craters if there is a dome which is impenetrable? If the asteroids are inside the dome, then why don't we ever see them passing in front of the Sun or Moon?
4. How does the ISS stay up? (see my ISS thread first)
5. How does GPS work if Space Agencies are bogus?
6. How does Antarctica receive 24 Hour Sunlight?
7. Why can you seem the Moon during the day but not the Sun during the night if they are both said to orbit the Flat Earth and are sometimes opposite eachother? According to your explanation of seasons, the Sun can get quite close to the center of the Earth, meaning that if you're in the day zone and you can see the Moon during a Gibbous or a Crescent, you should also be able to see the Sun from the night zone, but you don't. Here's a video of the Moon during the day:
8. Where do the Cosmic Rays in Antarctica come from?
9. If the Sun is close to Earth, how are corpuscular rays parallel? (Don't say that they aren't parallel, they only appear to converge the same way that railroad tracks appear to converge)
10. How does the Moon go Red during some Lunar Eclipses?
11. How do Mercury and Venus pass infront of the Sun for everyone on Earth? How do they even transit the sun at all if they are said to be in the dome behind the Sun?
Venus Transit -
Mercury Transit -
12. How do planes fly close to the south pole in a reasonable amount of time? In your model, this would take crazy long!
13. How does the Coriolis effect work on a Flat Earth?
14. If the Sun is small and close to the Earth, why does it get cooler when you go up towards it?
15. If the Earth is flat and everything is a huge conspiracy, then why would they leave such an obvious clue in the UN Logo?
16. How do see different stars in the southern and northern hemisphere, if the stars are said to be on the dome? If that were the case, you could see all the stars from anywhere on Earth.
17. Where does the Sun's energy come from on an FE Model? If its fusion energy, then how does the Sun do it?
18. Why does gravity slightly decrease when you go to a high place or closer to the Equator?
19. Why are NONE of your models to scale or with actual calculations? If the Earth truly were Flat, it shouldn't be hard to make an accurate model.
20. What are the stars made of and why do they shine? (Similar question to the Sun one, however if stars are that very close to Earth, they should be as bright as the Sun if they were the same)
21. How does precession work? Why was Thuban the North Star back in Ancient Egypt, but now its Polaris?
22. What is the firmament made of and why is it impenetrable, if the Earth were flat, you should be able to go up there and make observations.
23. How do you explain SN 1987A?
24. If the Moon landings and all footage from space was fake and NASA is trying to pass it off as real, then why didn't they include the stars?
25. How do you explain the Doppler shift in starlight due to an Exoplanet's gravitational pull?
