Apologies about the terminology, I also didn't know that.

Genuinely interested though, is there a FE explanation for these observations?

Flat Earth Theory / Seasons and Days in the Southern Hemisphere

« on: July 17, 2019, 10:29:31 AM »

In the FEM where the sun rotates around the North Pole, acting as a spotlight on the area of the earth where it is currently day (as in the animation below), I have a few questions about seasons and what we observe in the Southern Hemisphere

In this model, where the Sun rotates further away from the NP in the southern summer (northern winter), we should observe it travelling with a higher speed across the sky as it has a much further distance to travel due to the longer circumference of its path. Why do we not see this, it strikes me that this should be easily observable

It has also been observed that the days get much longer in the southern summer as you travel south, with near 24 hour sunlight in the extreme south, the same as is seen in the arctic in June. How is this explained if the sun rotates to the opposite side of the earth every 12 hours? In the above model, as the sun travels outwards towards the southern edge the days would actually get shorter as the distance from the 'spotlight' sun is decreased

Some insight would be very much appreciated
