So as we all probably know from the wiki, the sun is apparently 3000 miles from the earth and since the winter solstice is coming up, I invite everyone here to test whether or not the earth is actually flat. I propose that on the day of the Winter Solstice, Dec 21st, let's measure the angle to the sun from our various locations and plug in the proper trigonometry to see if we all come up with the same answers. If the FE theory is correct then we should arrive on or about the 3000 mile mark for the sun's distance (or if not 3000 then we should at least have a similar answer as Voliva could have simply been wrong). There will be some science to do so be warned. There will be 3 phases to this experiment:
Find your distance to the tropic of capricorn.
1. Do a Google search by typing "distance [your city] to tropic of capricorn"
2. It should return a result from dateandtime.info, click the link
3. The link will show you your distance to the tropic of capricorn in km and miles. Record your distance to the tropic of capricorn in miles.
Measure angle of sun above horizon at noon on Dec. 21st.
1. There are many methods for measuring the azimuth angle of the sun but let's just use something you might already have, a protractor.
2. At noon on Dec. 21st, make the base of your protractor parallel with the earths surface and then point the other end of it toward the sun. Record the azimuth angle of the sun in degrees.
Here is a link that goes in a little more detail about how to measure an angle with a protractor.
http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/geology/powell/scale_module/protractor/protractor_roll.htm (http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/geology/powell/scale_module/protractor/protractor_roll.htm)
Calculate the distance to the sun.
This will just be some brief trigonometry but I will also provide a link to a trig calculator if you'd rather not do the calculation.
You will need to use the following formula:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/c/0/d/c0dd18b51a2d4e39c12f9461a485e1b0.png)
where A is the angle you measured, b is the distance to the tropic of capricorn and a is the distance to the sun. Solve for a.
Here is the online trig calculator (http://www.carbidedepot.com/formulas-trigright.asp)where you can just input the numbers above to obtain the length for side a.

Alright then. Let's see what happens.

Alright then. Let's see what happens.
Question: When measuring the azimuth of the sun, is the angle read from the line that bisects the sun?
This is an interesting experiment. A couple of points:
You're looking for the elevation angle of the Sun (angle to the center of the Sun above level), not the azimuth angle (angle from due north in the level plane). This should be obvious from context, but some folks here may not recognize this, or will pretend not to understand.
For the most accuracy, you want the elevation angle to the center of the Sun exactly at local solar noon. Since the apparent diameter of the Sun is only 1/2°, measuring to the top or bottom would be an error of only 1/4°. This is less than the error you will have using a simple protractor, so it can probably be ignored. If you know your local solar noon on that date, use that. If you're not sure, see if you can locate a way to tell when the Sun is directly south (or north) of you (azimuth 180° or 0°), and take your reading then. If Daylight Savings Time is in effect for your time zone, local solar noon will probably be closer to 1 PM than civil noon. Being a few minutes off probably won't make too much difference; if you're a little too early or too late your measured elevation angle will be slightly low. If you take several measurements and they're all accurate, the highest is the one you want.
Be careful not to look at the sun for too long, too. Maybe use a straw as an indicator for your protractor (with its base level, oriented in a vertical plane) and measure the angle where sunlight passes through its length looking at the straw's shadow to tell. Practice this for a few days first.
I want to emphasize that the straw method (see A2Os post) is the best way to do this. Do not look at the sun directly.
I dont understand, where are all the FE'rs?

Someone proposed a way to see for themselves, so they're running for the hills.
I dont understand, where are all the FE'rs?Whenever us RE'ers propose an experiment to invalidate FET or validate RET the FE'ers scatter. It's pretty funny actually, the same thing happened when I made a post about observing Jupiter and its moons to determine the legitimacy of Sceptimatic's reflection theory. They were no where to be found.
In my opinion, the Sun is nowhere NEAR 3000 miles up. It's more like 100-200 miles TOPS.What is your evidence that the sun is 200 miles high?
Take a look at this picture taken from a weather balloon at 110,000 Feet (~20 miles):
(http://i.ytimg.com/vi/sWUZDOQm_HE/0.jpg)
Look at the angle of the rays and the position of the Sun and you can see it's only about 100-200 miles up.
The Stars, on the other hand, are much higher up near the top of the Firmament.
You have to remember that the Sun doesn't take the same course every day, and has various routes throughout the year. The Book of Enoch explains the Sun's courses more thoroughly:

The Moon's size and distance contribute to a wonderful coincidence for those of us who live here on Earth. The Moon is about 400 times smaller than the Sun, but it also just happens to be about 400 times closer. The result is that from Earth, they appear to be the same size.
And if you took the time to read the page linked in the Book of Enoch above, you may have noticed the last verse which states, "37. As he rises, so he sets and decreases not, and rests not, but runs day and night, and his light is sevenfold brighter than that of the moon; but as regards size they are both equal."Considering around 80% of the US population is Christian, it sounds a bit hypocritical of you to be denouncing atheists who go against the grain and aren't gullible enough to give in to religion, kind of like how you say RE'ers are gullible and shills for giving in to RE.

Googleotomy, those rays cannot be explained by lens flare but they can be explained by simple perspective and its been discussed at length in a thread on these forums before. Just look at these railroad tracks.

We know these tracks are parallel but because of the perspective, they don't appear to be.

I actually expect there to be no scientific proof of the existance of God because if there was then finding truth would be way too easy and life is not supposed to be easy. The bible mentions Pangea when it says "and God gathered all the land in one place" which wasn't proven until somewhat recently and the bible also mentioned a beginning of the universe before the big bang theory existed. In fact, wouldn't a Big Bang like that be what you would expect to happen when God says "let there be light"? If anybody here is living a fantasy, it's you with your depressing life is a miserable meaningless accident that ends at death beliefs.Science has never proven or disproven the existence of God, so don't pretend like you know the answer.
Apologies for a quickie OT...
Science does not have to "prove" that god doesn't exist. It's the task of those that claim he does to prove that he does. General logic says that one cannot prove a negative. As someone has already mentioned leprechauns, I'd challenge any flat earther to prove that they don't exist. Can't be done.
If I tell somebody I can fly like a bird, then it's not their job to prove that I can't; I have to prove I can by jumping off the roof.
The "proof of god" thing is invariably raised by the bible-bashers on all these nominally science-based forums. They just can't seem to separate science from fantasy. ::)

In my opinion, the Sun is nowhere NEAR 3000 miles up. It's more like 100-200 miles TOPS.
Take a look at this picture taken from a weather balloon at 110,000 Feet (~20 miles):

Look at the angle of the rays and the position of the Sun and you can see it's only about 100-200 miles up.

5.Amateur radio operators can send signals to the moon and have them bounce off the moon in an operation called "Moon Bounce."
Truth or lie ?
6.Amateur radio operators on earth can receive signals bounced off the moon.
Truth or lie ?
7.Amateur radio operators can measure the time it takes for a signal to the moon, bounce off the moon and be received back on earth as about 2.5 seconds.
Truth or lie ?
8.Amateur radio operators can determine the return path is one half the total "2-Way Time" or about 1.275 seconds.
Truth or lie ?
9.The speed of radio waves has been determined to be 300,000 kilometers per second or 186,000 miles per second.

10. Distance is equal to times times speed .
Truth or lie ?
11.Multiply the time (1.275 seconds) times the speed (186,00 miles per second) equals 238,150 miles.

Look at the angle of the rays and the position of the Sun and you can see it's only about 100-200 miles up.
The Stars, on the other hand, are much higher up near the top of the Firmament.
You have to remember that the Sun doesn't take the same course every day, and has various routes throughout the year. The Book of Enoch explains the Sun's courses more thoroughly:

Here is a pretty good video explaining the angles of the Sun's rays on flat earth:

This a repeated request for a reply from iWitness
I just want to know how he obtained his figures and will not question his results.

Unfortunately, as I've discovered after asking iWitness several relevant questions, he simply ignores them—despite repeated reminders.
The vast majority of his comments and/or replies are centred around his religious beliefs, and his overly-literal interpretation of the Abrahamic bible. A few days ago, he even started an entire thread with a purely religious topic, and which escaped any censure from the moderators for some unknown reason.
It's also a given that anybody who truly believes in the existence of supernatural entities and/or paranormal phenomena really has no place commenting on any nominally science-based forum. For those reasons, I'd suggest you're only wasting your time and your bandwidth in expecting any sort of credible responses from the guy. He's obviously living on another planet LOL. Even if he claims it doesn't exist.
I'm just interested in the 100 to 200 mile distance from the earth to the sun.
I think he said it was from the rays from the sun in the photo.
It seems I'm back - off the banned list, that is - so I shall try to be more careful and make no more "off topic" postings.
