You know there are weather satellites that provide live feeds and clearly show the earth has a curve?
You mean hot air balloons? Those "satellites" and the "ISS" that you think are hundreds of miles above earth are all CGI (Computer Generated Images). Go watch one for yourself for a few hours and decide for yourself whether you're seeing something real or not. Continents, oceans, clouds, bodies of water, etc.
Ever wonder why NASA is the biggest buyer of helium in the world? By like a factor of 10,000x more than the next closest buyer. As yourself why NASA needs so much helium?
If the live feed you're looking at is lower in the sky, which it often is, take a step back and compare it to when you've been in an airplane up at 35,000 feet. If the objects you see aren't appreciably smaller/lower than something you've seen for yourself, then you're seeing a view from a hot-air balloon through a fish-eye lens camera which distorts the image and adds the "curve" - just as airplane windows do.
NASA's job, like all the other "government 3/4/5 letter agencies", is to deceive us - beginning to end.
Does flat earth theory have an explanation for the sun rising and setting? Also, if there is an explanation, does it explain why the sun/moon look larger when they are close to the horizon?
Atmospheric lensing from moisture in the air.
I suppose that's what bends the light so much it can illuminate the underside of clouds, yes?
Sure. But flat earth proofs are NEVER "theories". That domain is reserved for the globers.
You first have to understand the flat earth model. Think of a giant lake (oceans) with islands in it (continents). All bodies of water must be held in a container, as we all know through basic common sense. Antarctica is the "container" that encircles this lake. It's not a "continent" on the "bottom of the globe". It's a giant ice wall that's "off limits" to us normies, since 1958. We aren't allowed to go there unless escorted by an international governing body. They take tourists to a tiny little outpost south of Chile. Keeps the lie alive.
Above this "firmament" the sun and moon traverse the sky in a circular motion, opposite one another, above the "lake", just as you see every day. The sun transits between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn each calendar year. When it's near Capricorn (northern hemisphere), it's warm in the US. When it gets closer to Cancer, it's warm in the southern hemisphere, Australia for example.
The paths that the sun/moon traverse look like the Yin/Yang symbol you've almost certainly seen. What you see every day is the sun moving closer to your location, then moving away from your location. This is exactly as your eyes and senses perceive it. And this is exactly what's happening. You don't perceive you're standing on a rotating ball spinning away from a stationary object.
While nobody knows 100% for sure, we believe both the sun and moon are approximately 3300 miles away from the earth and 32 miles in diameter each, identical in size (hence the perfect eclipses. Once again, just as your eyes see. And neither are balls/globes either. It would be more accurate to call them "lights" or possibly "plasmas", just like the PLANEts (PLANES), which were always called "wandering stars" through antiquity. They're lights too.
The appearance of a larger sun at the horizon is due to atmospheric lensing and refraction. It's a bit more complicated to explain this. But this sort of thing happens at certain times of year, and in certain places, more dramatically than others. This explains why you don't ALWAYS see the larger sun or moon every day of the year. In short, it's a function of our limited visual perspective under certain atmospheric conditions.
Ok, so let me see if I've understood this.
The Sun is basically a spotlight that shines 'down' on the face of the earth, and it doesn't 'set' it just gets further away, right up until the point where it no longer shines down on my bit of the earth, and it gets dark. Is that right?
So, things that get farther away tend to look smaller as they do so, but because of 'atmospheric lensing' the sun actually looks bigger as it gets further away, right up until it can be seen anymore and it becomes dark?
