Title: How do seasons work?
Post by: Luke 22:35-38 on December 01, 2015, 12:06:40 PM
If the earth is flat then how does the sun move from one point to get summer and the other point to make winter?

If earth was flat, it would continue to move around the sun as usual and the moon would continue to move around us. Nothing would move differently because these astronomical objects are too far away to be affected by transient gravitational differences.

First place, what is making the sun go in a circle? It would fly off in a straight line unless there is something that is preventing that like a rope.

Second, how does the sun move from its orbit to make summer for instance?
