forgetting time zones and meridians there is 139 degrees difference in their longitudes  -- if 15 degrees = 1 hour their sunrise or solar noons should be 9 hours apart but they aren't -- they are closer to 12 which suggests that FE with South America and Australia at opposite ends of the disk fits reality more closely.

ok guys lets see if I have this correct Sydney is at 151.2 degrees east and Santiago is at 70.667 degrees west so we add those two together we get roughly 221 degrees or 139 degrees of separation that is about a 9 hour difference still not the 12 hour difference we are led to believe is there -- if my math is off please correct me

so high noon ( the sun at the highest point in the sky) from a given point on the globe is effected how?Does this "high noon" actually fall 12 hours later between Sydney and Santiago ?

Hi all,

If we look at the ball earth model we are told that the earth's circumference is 40,075 km and that the distance between Santiago Chile and Sydney  Australia is 11,339 km --- ignoring date lines and "daylight savings times" etc shouldn’t their local times be closer together?  The distance between them is about 1/4th the circumference of the earth so shouldn't the time difference be about 6 hours rather than the 12 hour difference we see ?
