Title: If FE is correct then why does the south pole have day/night like the north pole
Post by: Whyisthisthat on April 22, 2013, 07:12:35 PM

I was wondering how this works because acordding to FE theory map the south pole recieves as much light as the north pole except at opposing time. Why the northern hemisphere is in winter the northpole recieves 24 hour nights and the southern hemiphere where its summer the south pole recieves 24 hour days. This changes six months later when the earth changes the axis throughout its orbit so then the south pole would have 24 hour nights and the north pole 24 hour days. This proves that FE theory is incorrect but if you have an explaination then please post it.

There are various FE models that can fit this observation, such as Wilmore's. However, some here will deny the credibility of the claim of months of darkness/light. There is a search function that I'm positive could lead you to a recent thread discussing this topic.

The only explanation they have is this map of Earth.

As the sun approaches the rim, light reflects around the edges like in your coffee cup when you tilt it just right. I have a nice .gif somewhere illustrating this very well understood phenomenon, but I am posting from my phone, so you'll have to weather the sea of google yourself of you want more information about how it works.
