A Few Questions
« on: November 15, 2018, 06:18:53 PM »
Hello-
As a new member of the forum, and someone who strongly believes that the Earth is an oblate spheriod, I would like to know why you believe in the theory that the Earth is flat. I've looked extensively for answers to the following answers, of which I cannot find.
1. How do day/night cycles work on a flat earth? Wouldn't the light diffuse across the entire Earth, just making a constant state of dusk?
2. How do seasons prevail across the flat Earth? Why would the seasons change?
3.What force would be pulling the Earth up and 9.8 meters per second per second?
4. Why is the Equator so much hotter than the rest of the world? This is explained on the round Earth model, but not that of the flat earth.
5. What about the planets which you can see with the naked eye? What explanation do you have for that?

Not sure, but this might have something to do with it: https://wiki.tfes.org/Distance_to_the_Sun

5. What about the planets which you can see with the naked eye? What explanation do you have for that?
