Flat Earth Theory / Easy proof of a round earth
« on: June 15, 2017, 09:09:10 PM »
I work in an industry that aims Dishes at geostationary satellites. I know FEers don't believe in satellites, they say they are balloons or really tall towers at the equator. Regardless of what they are, they can not deny they are up there. I'll arbitrarily pick one satellite, commonly called "119" or "EchoStar IV". I live about 5200 miles from the equator, and the satellite is at a 36 degree elevation. Los angeles is about 3800 miles from the equator, and Satellite 119 is at a 50 degree angle there. Using math or a triangle calculator website and you find that with a "flat earth" model, the calculated height of the satellite is different in each location. The only way the number add up is with a round earth. Also, the fact the elevation angle is ZERO or less if you go far enough north, again, obviously proves a (more or less) round earth.
FWIW, with a "flat earth" the calculated elevation of Satellite 119 would be about 3778 miles in my state and 4528 miles high in Los Angeles... Some pretty tall towers they build down at the equator.... LOL.
You can confirm these readings yourself, as million of retired RVers do all the time as they set up their dish.
