It's amazing how the sun changes speed to perfectly replicate a spinning [tilted] globe.

how can the sun travel at almost the same speed on an equinox and on the winter solstice?

its apparent motion against the horizon is the same on both equinoxes (fast) and also the same on both solstices (slow).

Difference of ~300 mph is not negligible in my book.

its apparent motion against the horizon is the same on both equinoxes (fast) and also the same on both solstices (slow).

Don't argue with the facts!!1

I wonder what it is that makes the sun completely defy conservation of angular momentum in this way.

282 acre (+ for ice wall) earth superimposed over a 124 acre farm circle with a VW bug over the top of the Sahara desert. Can't see it? Oh... weird...  Maybe that's why no one ever draws their diagrams TO SCALE.

And that tiny sun provides 164 W per square meter per 24 hours that reaches the surface of the earth . That's 8 947 593 009 TJ (Tera Joules) per day.

Seriously, this is one more crappy post away from CN. I suggest the OP brings something intelligent into the debate or suffers the humiliation of watching it being stuffed into the nonsense forum where we shall all point and laugh.

These are tidbits of fun information about the FEE (environment). Often FErs quote how fast the world is spinning or how fast it's going around the sun for RE but could you spout off the top of your head how fast the sun moves in the sky for a certain time of year?

Maybe it should be moved into the information repository for being so useful.

i think its all quite interesting. i dont see what thorks problem is. they are all FE facts shown in interesting ways. thork also seams a lot more grouchy than normal. hmmmm.....

Downstairs too. Its no just this thread. Don't get too excited.

Anyway, the Sun does that because Aetheric Whirlpool. I'd go into more detail, but I'm on my phone. Maybe later.

The sun is trapped in the hold of the rotating celestial gears and is moving in and out of the radius like a needle on a record player. The stars also do this.

The reason for this North-South movement of the celestials is unknown. However, the seasons would not exist without it, and by extension, a diverse evolution of life driven by climate-induced adaption would probably have never occurred in history. We likely owe our existence to this phenomenon.

The question of why things are the way they are is immaterial. If it were any other way we wouldn't be here to talk about it.

I can be 100% sure the sun does not move.  Granted, I have no clue where its located.

Well you certainly put the 'needle' in the needle-of-a-record-player analogy.

if the sun orbited a flat earth at a fixed radius, seasonality would not occur, but there would still be a suite of fixed climates from the pole to the rim. a similar situation would occur with a round earth if the angle of the rotational axis were at 90 degrees to the ecliptic, instead of 66.

equatorial climates on the round earth model are quite stable, and accompany very high species diversities in tropical regions of south america, africa, and southern asia.

I bet you can't tell that from looking at it, can ya!
This shouldn't be too hard to observe and document.

Someone in the north at a latitude where the sun is directly overhead during the summer solstice timing how fast the sun moves across the sky,

And the someone in a southern latitued where the sun is directly overhead during the southern summer solstice timing how fast it moves.

767mph vs 1308mph should be somewhat apparent.  That would be a fairly significant victory for FET.

If you think about someone on the equator, they would have equal days for winter solstice and for summer solstice. Somehow they see more of the sun when it's to the south of them? Weird, that doesn't make sense...

No, he learned that in logic school.  I guess you wouldn't know, because you've never been there.
