One more dumb question bc I need help understanding. The following is copied straight from google search by scientific America. I asked how fast is earth moving through space. This is the answer:
It covers this route at a speed of nearly 30 kilometers per second, or 67,000 miles per hour. In addition, our solar system--Earth and all--whirls around the center of our galaxy at some 220 kilometers per second, or 490,000 miles per hour.
NOW, my dumb question is. How the heck do we take still pictures of a huge giant ball moving 490,000 miles per hr into the universe? Our satellites or whatever we use to take “pictures/video” would have to be so far away! Right? Like when we see an airplane moving 400 miles per hour way up in the sky. We are how far away? Now the size of earth is what and moving at the 490,000 miles per hr. How is that even possible? Please someone help me here
Moving at speeds Mach 88 and still seeing the same constellations every year in the same spots is all the proof we need.
Also, why isn’t the moon pulled around the sun with its magical gravity power?
Here’s my favorite. Sun is rocketing straight at around 500,000 miles per hour and the earth (that’s spinning around the sun at 66,600 mph) must speed up to 566,600 mph at times and then slow down other times. Never once do we feel any of these speed changes. Not once.
Centrifugal forces do not fling things off the earth because of… wait for it… gravity!
Why do flat earthers not stop to think about these things? Rule #1 of physics is to consider ALL forces that are in play, not just the ones you like or think support your theory.
“Why isn’t the moon pulled around the sun with its magic gravitic power?”
Because the sun is 93 million miles away while the moon is 238000 miles away. Gravitational force is inversely proportional to distance squared, so the farther you’re away from something, the less force it exerts on you.
The sun and earth travel at those speeds relative to the center of the galaxy. You don’t feel speed changes because a). The changes are slow, and b) you don’t move relative to earth.
TL;DR: flat earthers don’t understand or flat out ignore relative motion.
The same way you can take a selfie in your car while on the highway. Your phone is going 70mph taking a picture of something else going 70mph yet its not motion blurred
We have cameras that can capture the entire earth in the lens? Going at speeds we can’t even fathom.. still can’t grasp this... even if one thinks we are within the orbital speed... thx for the example
No we don’t have a photo of the entire earth in a lens. NASA tells you the entire earth photo is a composite (made from different photos).
Question everything folks: please watch on Rumble: What on Earth Happened - Full Documentary or Parts 1 - 13. They are 20-30 min segments that will tell you how you have been duped - the earth is flat and this documentary proves it.
This was taken by a chemical film camera. Photoshop wasn't created until 1988.
Current photos have to be assembled from many close-range photos taken at low orbital altitude. (Like a fly taking pictures of your automobile at a distance of an inch.) A camera needs to be at many multiples of the Earth's diameter distant in order to view an entire hemisphere completely.
Oh, but this is "Chandler15" ! I hadn't noticed. The notorious know-nothing, who spouts certainty when he is totally ignorant. HE is the one who should be questioned, before you question anyone else.
Answer: we can take pictures of earth from space because satellites orbit around the earth. They go around the earth, but travel with it, so the earth as a whole isn’t speeding away from them. In short, the answer is relative motion. The earth only moves at 67000 mph relative to the sun.

And the fact at that speed centrifugal force must be extreme, yet water rains down while bodies of water aren't flung off.
None of it "holds water" when you break all the various aspects down that support this narrative.

Quit using OBSERVABLE facts. The ONLY facts that matter come from wikiknow and indiatimes.

yes, it's hard to 'grasp' because it doesn't make sense, it's not logical.
listen to JFK break it down; can tell he's mocking them/thinks it's ludicrous...

Of course we have a photo of the entire Earth in a single frame. Here is one from Apollo 17 in 1972. https://planetfacts.org/apollo-17-last-manned-spaceflight-to-the-moon/

All in a magical universe infinitely expanding that started from essentially nothing that decided to go BANG!
