A friend of mine believes that the Earth is flat. I challenged him to prove it by walking off the edge...

You will notice to your amazement that [b]the sun's relative size does not change throughout the day[/b] [b]Consequences:[/b] The relative distance between your camera and the sun throughout the day is always the same. This means: ->The sun does not move relative to the earth. ->The sun is very far away from the earth ->the earth cannot be a flat pancake [b]->Only possible shape the earth can be is a rotating globe[/b]. [/quote] [b][color=brown]The sun size does change.[/color][/b] There’s a video in this thread showing it. Lol [/quote] Wrong, dimwit: [youtube] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrS87lS67wA[/youtube] [/quote] There you go! Consistent with the last 2000 years of solar observations!!! The sun size does not change throughout the day. Therefore earth must be a globe. Case closed! Get a new hobby, flatties, you have been proven wrong! [/quote] Someone posted a video of a sun fading and shrinking out of sight brought up through zoom after it left the naked eye And you believe a spliced/cut up video that offers no comparisons posted by a Satan worshiper You’re an idiot [/quote] More zoomed in as in your shitty video - where is the fading? Oh and explain why the photo shows only the upper half of the sun. :fesszoom: [/quote] Nice photo with 0 context I can do the same thing by laying the lense close to the ground, bringing the horizon higher [/quote] That the camera is far above the beach is quite obvious when looking at the sea in front of the sun. Laying the lens close to the ground won't give you a half sun, you would have to dig a hole into the ground to get a half sun. (Yep, I know the shitty videos that try to explain the sun setting behind the horizon by using a coin and a camera slightly below a table). [quote:Anonymous Coward 75162415:MV80MTAxMjc2Xzc0NTQwNjI3XzMxMDIxOEM3] Can you post the original photo? Why do you always post this cropped shit? [/quote] Did you ever hear that it is possible to mount a camera to a telescope? Just because your shitty video can't zoom in this much does not mean that others can't too. So what's your point. Just another fail from a pathetic loser who can't explain the sun setting behind the horizon. . [/quote] Seriously, just stop. Everything you link you literally don't understand shit. This is what causes the enlarged sun effect which causes that "half sun" over the horizon as its moving away, but again, you don't think at all at just regurgitate what science has fed you. It's a 2 minute video, but it starts around 23 seconds, how it produces that effect, again, youll dismiss it because your uninformed and its just easier to accept "we spin so the sun goes around". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ5wo_NKjtQ [/quote]
