According to the FAQ, the seasons are caused by the sun moving towards and away from the north pole. During the Summer (northern hemisphere), the sun is closest to the North Pole, making the Northern hemisphere warmer than the southern hemisphere. During the winter, the opposite is true. Now according to Newton's first law of motion, an object will remain in motion/rest until acted upon by an outside force. This means that in order for the sun to go closer to and farther from the North pole, a force needs to act upon it. What force is causing the sun to do this? What is making it suddenly travel away from the north pole, then towards it after a couple of months?

To add on, the Southern Hemisphere summer is hotter than the Northern Hemisphere. This makes perfect sense on the heliocentric model because even though the distance to the Sun doesn't affect seasons, our perihelion is usually January 2-3, which is what causes the Southern Hemisphere to have a hotter summer during their summer. This contradicts the flat earth theory because the FE Wiki claims that the Sun changes altitude to cause moon phases, yet doesn't mention anything about this problem.

By the way, you made an error in your writing which you might want to fix.

The more i find out about the flat earth theory, the more I think, "Wow, people actually believe this stuff?".
