You still wouldn't see this much of the buildings due to their leaning away at forty five miles distance; and they also wouldn't appear straight up and down like that either.You really should learn how the globe works. At 70 miles the buildings would be leaning away about 1 degree. It would not be very noticeable.
Here is a to-scale diagram of the Earth-Moon system. There are two observers, Red and Blue. When one viewer views the Moon overhead, the other is viewing it at 45 degrees:Not quite to scale, but close. Also, there is a 4 day difference between what the red and blue observers see. The moon isn't in two different locations at the same time.
Yet, in the southern U.S., Venus is visible at 45 degrees -- WAY up in the night sky, after sundown for at least two months STRAIGHT. Tonight, Venus is visible for as long FOUR HOURS after sunset. That means I can see it til ONE O'CLOCK in the morning.Can you tell us what latitude you are at in the mid-northern latitudes, and what time sunset is for that particular latitude in March on a particular day that you claim to see Venus at 1am?
It is apparent that some people will be under the Moon, while others are at another angle and see it low in the sky to their left or right, and must have different perspective views. So those people must see different sides of it.As would happen with a small local moon a couple thousand miles up, and we do not see this, which disproves flat Earth.
I see that you are saying that the Moon is too far in RET for such perspective effects to occur.No, I am not.
That's right. The theory that perspective effects are causing the Moon Tilt Illusion is wrong.No, it is not.
Floundering? Please.Replying with over exaggerated models and resorting to the "you're an alt" accusation. Yep, that's floundering.
More evidence has been presented in support of Flat Earth than anything Round Earthers have EVER dreamed up.Polaris is really far away. Learn how scale works.
--Polaris (North Star) never, ever, moving from its place in our sky.
--All the constellations staying exactly the same throughout all of recorded history despite the four 'alleged' and unfathomable movements of the Earth through space.
--The '50 mile long' Panama canal that is officially 'perfectly level' from end to end.
--The Bedford Level experiments.
--Countless photos and videos of horizons many miles long with zero curve.
--Crepuscular Rays indicating the close proximity and small size of the sun-disproving much of the myths about space and our solar system, etc.
--Mercury and Venus being visible in our night sky when they're 'supposedly' closer to the sun than Earth making it impossible for them to be seen when the Earth is turned 'AWAY' from the sun (i.e. night time).
The list goes on and on.
Vanishing line...The ship is on the horizon, not past it. If it were past it, it would be obscured from the bottom up, and no amount of zooming in would restore it to full un-obscured height.
Oh, less than half a degree? Really?Do you ever research anything? Earth's circumference, 24,901 miles divided by 360 (degrees) equals 69.169 miles. This means a building will be leaning away from you 1 degree at about 69 miles (*I'll round down instead). You should be able to figure it out from there.
I'd love to see these simple maths you boast of. Please, enlighten us.
As far as I understand in the wiki they criticize Soundly's photos of Pontchartrain because, they say, if curvature was indeed *so* apparent, our planet would be quite small. I like that comment because it acknowledges the fact that you cannot just watch and see a round earth.They say that because they don't understand the apparent foreshortening that occurs between visible features at great distances when viewed through high magnification.
Under RE the rays which hit the Earth's surface are parallel:No Tom, seeing as the apparent size of the sun is bigger than the pupil of your eye, and the fact that shadows cast from direct sunlight are sharply defined at the object casting the shadow, but become increasingly blurred the farther one moves from the object, demonstrates that some of the light from the sun is parallel, some is convergent, and some is divergent.
So now that we've established the picture was taken from an elevation of around 14-15k feet, or an altitude of an airliner that just recently took off from an airport and was heading east, as stated by the easily clicked on image info, and lining up the imagery in Google Earth and seeing the view matching with a location in an area that lines up with a flight path from SeaTac airport and has no major mountains with an elevation that high, we can also verify that the amount of curvature drop from an observation elevation of that height, using any of several online curvature calculators, that Mt, Hood would easily be visible.
No one of a right mind expects to see curvature at such a low altitude. Earth is very large.
Not so large. 25,000 miles circumference, so they say. 50-60 mi from left to right in that image. That's roughly half a mile of drop on each side of that image that is strangely missing.
I guess you're saying you'd have to be insane to see it? You'd be right, because it is clearly not there.
Here's an impossible image, guys and gals.....Pic taken from an airliner, so observer has enough elevation to see that far, and no distinguishable horizon to see any left to right curvature. Try again.
...yessir. Straight from Wikipedia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_Range
Mountain in the foreground is Mt. Rainier in Washington State. Mountains in the background, from left to right, are Adams, Hood and St. Helens.
But wait!!!.....That's impossible!!
Mount Hood is almost a HUNDRED miles from Mount Rainier!!
Science tells us the earth is 25,000 miles in diameter and that the curvature drops 8 inches per mile squared!! We couldn't POSSIBLY see Mount Hood from Mount Rainier!!
--------
Per Wikipedia: Mt. Rainier is 80 miles wide.....hmmm....no curve there anywhere in the image left to right AT ALL. Wiki says it's 700 miles long North to South....nope....no visible curve there. And Mt. St. Helens is 34 miles from Mt. Hood....that's strange.....there's absolutely NO curve between those mountains, EITHER!!!
Maybe it has something to do with where that ol' nasty ship is sitting on the horizon, or OOPS, NOT on the horizon I mean. SORRY!
I know what it is..........it's that dadgum red-liquid rain guage that's boogered things up so good. Drats!! Foiled again!
If only the sun propagated it's light in that silly manner the drawing of umbra and penumbra of eclipse would make sense .It can be demonstrated with two coins, a paperclip, and sunlight. Or, go look at shadows on a sunny day and notice that the shadows become increasingly blurred the farther one gets from the object casting it.
The author goes to lengths to explain that it doesn't really matter.The author also apparently thinks highly of Nathan Oakley according to the opening of that video. This tells me he probably doesn't understand what he's talking about.
I would suggest finding some way to make these observations possible in RE. I have not yet seen an explanation for this.I did a quick modeling of it on GE. Looks ok to me. Did they even consider the moon's 5 degree tilt of its orbital plane? Why is the visible horizon not based on North 52? Was Earth's axial tilt at that time of year factored into all this?
How is it possible that the moon doesn’t pass in front of any stars. I kind of understand how it works on a flat Earth. But I’m curious what’s the explanation for it on a round earth. And if it does, I’ve never seen it happen. And I have watched the moon move across the night sky many of times.They do. You didn't look close enough.
Just as you’ll never see a star cross over another star. They all run in perfect circles around the North Star. And that should not be if stars are at different distances from Earth.Look at two mountains of varied distance miles away. Take one step to the side. How much difference do you see? This is closer to the scale of Earth's movement in relation to the stars.
Sit in a chair and find 2 objects one close and one far away that lines up with each other. Spin in a circle and watch the 2 objects move apart.
How can you see the moon at night when the moon is on the same side as the SunAre you saying we can only see half to full moon phases, and that it suddenly vanishes or appears at half moon? Learn how the phases of the moon works, and when they are visible.
