I think the only thing the uploader was trying to do was to show that the sun does have an apparent size change throughout the course of the day.
How does that rectify with a 93,000,000 mile away Sun?

Refraction can cause slight changes in apparent size during sunrise/sunset. I am pretty sure refraction usually causes it to appear slightly smaller.
However, I suspect the apparent size change has more to do with these two reasons:
1. He doesn't measure carefully. (see my comment previous comment)
2. There is more glare at noon when the sun is brightest, causing it to look slightly bigger. He needs a better filter if he wants precision.
Regardless, this is COMPLETELY different from what a flat earth predicts.
Being "pretty sure" refraction makes something look bigger and or smaller...
...sometimes is a far cry from being absolutely certain the Sun doesn't ever change apparent size during the course of one day, which would be impossible if it was 93,000,000.
You can keep hand waving as much as you want, but your effort to somehow make this something incompatible with FET is ignoring the fact that it is also incompatible with RET.
I'm absolutely sure that if the sun and the moon doubled in distance during the day, the apparent difference in size would be much more dramatic than what we actually see. It wouldn't have to be the subject of pixel-counting video because it would be obvious, every day, all the time, that the sun rises small, grows large by noon, and shrinks small again by sunset. There would be popular idioms and cliches based on it. Song lyrics and poetry would refer to it, and would have done throughout human history. None of that happens, because the sun and moon are the same apparent size except under unusual conditions, because they're both quite far away and the difference in distance from horizon to zenith is a vanishingly small fraction of the overall distance.

Sun has the biggest shape on just about 12 pm, and others are smaller.At about 6 seconds when the cars and trees are seen, you can tell the filter isn't dark enough.

I did these with a #14 welding lens.
Approximately noon.

Toward sunset.

Well done, now prepare to be ignored as you have replied to a thread starring the Intikam
How do we do it? Would raising a hand and asking "Permission to speak Sir!"Well done, now prepare to be ignored as you have replied to a thread starring the Intikam
Model 29 might be ok on this one. İntikam started the topic and then left without beginning a back and forth dialog with any ONE person. He therefore should not try the patented "I wasn't talking to you, but you talked to me, ignored, Bye!" thing.
Or Model 29 might make it to the naughty list anyway, since he didn't get permission to speak.

I've been un-blocked :'( We'll see how long this lasts, I have no intention of changing my behaviour to suit anyone's artificial private 'rules' for forum conduct.Yes, but you got unblocked because of " ;) respect for your great age ;)". I wonder what "in the Sam Hill" he thinks my age is! He should "bow and scrape!"
Well Rounder got moved out on account of his (supposed) great age!
Well that isn't fair! My 20th birthday present was from Queen Victoria. And how come I got moved out of the respect category, which was introduced for me (giving me delusions of grandeur) and moved into Rabs' section which is crowded and a bit smelly?
