Flat Earth Theory / Re: Seeing the horizon

The sun is a star and the closest therefore brightest one and because of its light it is not possible to view others during the day unless you have an appropriate telescope and the exact position of where the star is at that time. Only a few can be seen using this technique during the day.

Surely though if I can see through the atmosphere to objects that are 3000 miles away and only 32miles diameter (according to FES) then I should have no problem seeing that same distance horizontally as well as vertically?

One thing that stands out to me is how the FES says that ships disappear because we can’t see that far.

However if I have a telescope I can look and see in detail the moon, Saturn’s rings etc. So surely if the earth was flat as you say then by using a telescope I should be able to see the ship while further away than I can with naked eye and would be able to observe the flat plain of Earth much further?
However this cannot be done.

Ok. So if the earth isn’t a planet and is the centre of the solar system then how do the extreme seasons happen?
The light and dark seasons of Svalbard for example?

Going by the diagram that is in the linked page I don’t understand where the asteroid or kuplar belt are?

Does the moon orbit the Earth?

And what about the rest of the universe?

Flat Earth Theory / Other planets

Does the FES accept that other planets and moons and not flat?
If so then can you please explain why we are different to these in your opinion.
Also going further afield what is the explanation for possible life on other terrestrial planes? For example the moons of Jupiter and Saturn some of which are active today.
Beyond that can you explain the numerous galaxies and dark matter.
