Hello all, first time poster here wishing to discuss  fairly, on a flat planet, how is the atmosphere actually contained? Does the underside the flat plane also have an atmosphere? Is this rounded or some sort of sphere??? Is the atmosphere's thickness even throughout the upper plane of the surface? If so, how do you explain the south pole (aka Antarctica) and the north pole both having similar temperatures but the amount of atmosphere the sun rays having to traverse not equal if a flat atmosphere thickness?

One would assume a flat plane would have a flat atmosphere which would make the north pole one of the hottest areas of the plane since it would be directly at the center?

They believe the sun rotates around the north pole, and the south pole is a huge ring around the outside. So the sun would be furthest from the north pole/south pole hence the cold.

However they're unable to explain seasons without saying that "the sun must travel in a larger circle over the southern countries during their summer"... They're also unable to explain sunrise/sunset without inventing a new way to determine an objects apparent position due to perspective (otherwise it's obvious that the sun would never set)... But then their own warped view of perspective fails when you consider that the larger/smaller circles previously mentioned would mean the sun would have to be setting/rising at different distances "due to perspective".

It's about at this point they reply with "oh well it's celestial gravity and or magnetism curving light" without providing any details what so ever of such a crazy concept, but at the end of the day they don't really care about evidence, logic, observation, or good old fashioned science, because they're much to busy for that sort of thing and it's up to us round earthers to convince them, because apparently thousands of years of evidence and observation matching conclusions isn't good enough.

Welcome to the "debate"!
