Earth is 93 million miles from the Sun. It takes 1yr for Earth to rotate the Sun. In 6 months Earth will be 186 million miles away on the opposite side of the Sun IF EARTH=. and SUN=O What side of EARTH aka .(dot) is day? What side of EARTH is night? Why can i see the Big Dipper every night of every month throughout the year??????????? .------93mil------O------93mil------. Reconcile that's 186 million miles in the opposite direction that we see the Big Dipper! Must be coincidence..lol

off topic, take it to conspiracy.win
But... 11 x 17 = 187, and they mention 186 million miles so .... ~Q?
The stars of the Big Dipper are between 79 and 124 light years away. That's the equivalent of between 4,996,045 and 7,841,893 times the distance between the earth and the sun! That's at least 29,541,397,000,000,000,000 miles. Your puny 186 million miles is the equivalent of taking a step to your right and being surprised you can still see the moon! Just because you can't comprehend the scale of the the universe, it doesn't mean it's not true. Sources: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Dipper https://www.calculateme.com/astronomy/light-years/to-astronomical-units/124 Also, this is off topic.
Edit: I notice you were quick to respond to others, but not to me. Coincidence? Lol
Dog17 HAHA great words of truth!
The human eye does not see any "distance". It detects light that comes to it. It is the light that does all the travelling. Are you suggesting that light can't travel 100 light years? What is stopping it?
Stars are very bright.
Do you even know how we measure the distance to the stars? We use something called stellar parralax, in which we observe the movement of a star relative to other stars and use trigonometry (which is the observable and repeatable properties of triangles) to arrive at the only result that explains our observations.
There are basic building blocks of knowledge that are observable, testable, repeatable and have not yet failed that you can acquire in your own experience with your own senses that can combine to come to these answers. You don't need to go there. To deny the distance of stars, you essentially have to deny that triangles exist.
Are you a triangle-denier?
At that distance you are not resolving the size of the star with your sight, but the magnitude of the light they produce. This is different to our sun because we are close enough to experience its size. With stars the distance they can be observed from is dependent on the brightness of the light they produce. For example, if you continued to move away from our sun it would continue to get smaller until it was a pinpoint, somewhere around Jupiter or Saturn, but that pinpoint would still be visible until you were about 56 light years away, such is it's brightness. It's the same principle as flashlights, they can all be the same size, but some have a beam length of 10m while others have a beam that can reach hundreds of metres. It all depends on the brightness of the bulb. Stars are very bright, almost unimaginably so. https://public.nrao.edu/ask/how-can-we-see-stars-in-the-night-sky-when-they-are-so-far-away/
What's the difference of opinion? I can use stellar parallax to measure the distance to stars. I can do that with just a telescope and some patience.
The only thing I need to take on faith is that triangles will always behave like triangles. Do you have a difference of opinion on the properties of triangles?
A triangle upside down, resembles a pussy...
KEYk word ThEoRy.. :)
KEY WORD THEORY... Tells you everything you need to know..
Geez Louise go to conspiracies. Get that flat Earther stuff out of here
I don't care what anyone says i will always love this theory. If anything it just gets people thinking critically instead of believing what the media and schooling feeds us.
My biggest problem with the FE movement is the fact that all the leading arguments are literally second or third grade level logic. My favorite one is when they ask what happens when you spin a wet tennis ball. GASP the water flies off! But then you ask them what happens to that wet tennis ball if you spin it at a speed so slow it only rotates once in 24 hours... Does the water still fly off? Exactly. Now all that said, there are legitimate and plausible theories out there but they have far more holes in them than our standard model. They poke small holes in the globe model while totally disregarding the far more blatant flaws in their model. I'm totally open to being proven wrong and it frankly wouldn't shock me if it turned out to be true. But leading with such childishly simple arguments is a bad start.
How long does it take for it to go all the way around once? 24 hours, right?
Maybe it's moving x miles per hour at the equator because it's so large, but it's TURNING slowly. One revolution per day. Don't get the two things confused.
Why am I even contributing to this blatant slide?
is this a flat-earther troll?
What about the 186 million miles in the opposite direction?
Facts: Everything on TV is real. Experts and academics are always right no matter what. Science is real. The end.
Not a flat earther by any means, but I will throw out a couple thoughts.
First of all, your senses tell you that the sun and moon are the same size and distance. "Science" came up with some crazy egyptian numbers/calculations to tell you to ignore your God given natural senses.
Second, every kindergarten classroom sports a globe just to make sure that you never question any other possible reality. Also,many movies you have ever watched (made by the folks who fake reality as a vocation) begins with showing you a nice globe image.
People believe in Q but mock anybody who questions the possibility of a different reality than what you have been told about our earth. Instead of mocking you, I will praise you for believing that everything you have been told SHOULD be questioned, including that of the nature of our world.
Ever wonder why the constellations are in different places at different times of the year, fren?
Because it takes one year for all the stars to rotate around polaris aka the northstar
Hi. I’ve been to Nunavut....Polaris is really high above. From Oaxaca Mexico I can just see it over the horizon....I’m Currently in South America....guess what? I can’t see Polaris from down here....and you’ll never see the t from Antarctica.
I CAN however see the Southern Cross right now. I’ll bet you can’t....and for the same reason.
(Our big round spinning planet is in the way)
We live on some weird misshapen potato of a rock actually.
Off topic and kek at whatever you just said
Expand:
WHY is the exact same side of the moon ALWAYS facing us, what are the odds that, as i orbits earth, it has an EXACT geosynchronous orbit?
WHY is the moon and sun AND the earths shadow during eclipses, from our perspective, the exact same size????
So many questions...
Why did Q ask "how far away is the nearest star?"
I will never get why people invoke God when arguing flat earth.
As if it would take any effort for God to create something infinitely more complex and interesting than a flat disk.
Thank God for this intricate universe that we find ourselves in. Filled with unlimited potential for creation and exploration.
Take the only continent with a flag of its shape, draw the perimeter of the continent. Then use the air age map of our world and put it inside the ice walls of Antarctica. New stars discovered...space force gps emblem on the flag? Antarctic treaty with the UN? Atlantis Lemuria Mu? MOAR land folks... We only need to get in a ship(boat) and travel to more space beyond the globalist elites vision they had for us.. We are nationalists not globalists!
Just no. We have very clear real-time data from all perspectives.
If you don't believe it and think the data is fake, then go gather a few flat earthers, launch some balloons (couple hundred bucks per launch) into orbit and take pictures.
Use different types of lenses too, if you want to the flat earth darling "fish eye lens" argument in the same experiment.
Questioning is good. But not everything is a conspiracy aimed at subverting the masses. Especially something as non-consequential as the shape of the earth.
Okay, so get into science and answer them. The world doesn't exist to spoon feed you.
Bullshit. I stated there's access to data which you can use to come to your own conclusions.
And just in case, which you clearly love to do, you would blanket refute like the typical flat earther I offered you a fool-proof and moderately cheap solution to your problem.
Because it is. Your behaviour is not a function of the shape of the earth. Unless you want to argue that the shape gives birth to specific life forms, but in that case your beliefs are irrelevant anyways since your behaviour was influenced by your environment and not your belief.
"As a scientist" you say? If you're a scientist why do you baselessly assume my position? You're quite full of shit and a disgrace to science.
See above. And again, I gave you a guide on how to prove or disprove the globe, because you're obviously not the type to accept anything that goes against your retarded beliefs.
You don't get to pretend that I'm the unscientific one when you repeatedly dodge and make up my positions, while ignoring millennia worth of data and science and refusing do the work yourself. Which clearly is the only thing you'd accept, which is why you refuse to do it and keep running your mouth.
You're delusional and mortally afraid of accepting the fact.
