1) How do you explain the eclipse of the moon? At present the explanation is that the earth is a globe, and the moon revolves round it. Thus, as the globists would say, this happens when the global earth stands (not literally of course) between the sun and the moon.
2) Also, when I was at school, my teacher said that the rounded shape of the eclipse silhouette (supposedly due to the global earth) projected onto the moon is a proof of the round earth, got it? Don't worry I am both flat and round, that's my name.
3) The seasons, the length of days in winter and summer - this can only properly explained if the earth is round.
4) The zodiacs and the precession of the equinoxes can only happen if the earth is round, may be.
Hello, FlatGlobe. I hope we can help you find some clarity.
1. The moon's eclipse seems to be caused by a shadow, but we do not know what casts it. If the lunar eclipse were caused by earth's shadow, then we would never be able to have a lunar eclipse while the sun was also visible in the sky; yet this happens, and is well documented.
2. The penumbra (the edge of the shadow) appears to be rounded, yes, but as you can see, there are many round objects in the sky, so this isn't surprising. Assuming that it is caused by earth would lead to the conclusion that earth must be round, but if you don't make that assumption (and you shouldn't, because there is evidence to the contrary), then that shadow doesn't have any bearing on earth's shape at all.
3. Not true. In summer in the northern hemidisc (the northern hemisphere, if you prefer), the sun circles above the earth in a smaller circle, always north of the equator. In winter in the northern hemidisc, the sun circles along a wider path, mainly staying south of the equator. The seasons and changing length of day/night work just fine on a flat earth.
4. The precession of the equinoxes also work just fine on a flat earth. Just as the sun and moon circle above, the celestial dome also circles above us. However, the sun is not fixed to the celestial dome. Just as the sun and moon circle at different rates, the sun and celestial dome circle at different rates, and during the year the sun appears to move through the zodiac constellations due to this motion relative to the dome.
