Can you explain this?

Aww.. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.  I didn't call you wrong, I told you to read the FAQ, and use the search.  If you're not willing to do a little research, easy research at that, then you're not really interested in having any questions answered.   

Now, you explain why you believe the earth is round, without using pictures.

You didn't hurt my feelings your just a cow and everybody knows it. I should seriously report you for doing nothing on this forums but being an ass.

Ahem, SG is at 6000+ posts and is consistently intelligent, concise and entertaining. You are barely scraping 30 and have yet to prove your worth. Watch and learn.

So, standing under the sun is like standing under a book.

I don't understand how this answers the question of the day and night cycle.  Unless, there is dark matter rotating around the sky causing some parts of the earth to be in darkness at certain times of the day.
But then, how can we see the stars (since stars are farther than the sun) if this is what's happening. I GOT IT. The dark matter is the "book" we are standing under.
Maybe it is like this

_____dark matter____________       _______________
stars stars stars stars            (      )  stars stars stars
                                         (      )
                                         ( sun)
                                          ----- <---- the angle of this dark matter is different depending where you are on the earth.

Seems perfectly reasonable, with as much credence as any of your explanations, this seems FAQ worthy.

yes hi.. you are starting to catch on, kind of. first, i will explain my example a little clearer

no, standing under the sun is like standing on top of a book, just being underneath the sun, which is the light ABOVE the book. the other side of that book, however, is dark and we do not know everything about the other side of the flat earth. the main idea of the example was to say to him (the original poster), is that just because one side of the earth is light, doesnt mean the other is too. a book is solid and flat, and stops the light from illuminating through it -- same with our earth.

secondly, you seem to be discussing the issue of day and night, yes?  going back to my light/book example, just imagine now there are two lights, one representing the sun, and the other the moon. they simple revolve over our earth, as outlined in this diagram:



i hope this helps.

thats fucking dumb. how do you explain the places on earth that do recive 24 hour sunlight then? and by your diagram the sun is smaller then the earth... haha hard to belive.

Who are you going to report me to, and what are you going to report?  Tell on me for advising you to use the search, I dare you!  I bet you still haven't done it, and you're still crying about your question not being answered.  If you ask what you should search for, we will be happy to help you out.  Moo!

(thank you, Tusk!)

I think you will find they tell you that at different times of the year the "orbit" circles get larger or smaller in order to move the sun north or southwards and so therefore put more sunlight over certain areas during their local summer.

What mechanism would make this happen is unknown as far as I know (theory anyone?). There is an additional problem in that as the circle got smaller (ie, northern summer) the sun would have to slow down. I know the FE sun isnt that big but it is still huge and massive. How it sheds that much kinetic energy and then gains it again to go faster during the southern summer is also beyond me.

Also I'm not aware of anyone in the southern "hemisphere" (outer areas?) ever having reported the sun moving across the sky faster than it does towards the north pole.

*sigh*

Once again waiting for a FEer to wriggle their way through an explanation of the above.

WOW.. looks like someone flunked basic astronomy.

the sun IS smaller than the earth, why do you think it's revolving around it in the image i posted? idiot...

read that link. so your saying the the sun revolves around the earth? seems to say that in the diagram.

So your saying the the sun revolves around the earth? seems to say that in the diagram.

More precisely, the sun revolves around a point several thousand miles above the north pole known as the celestial hub.

check that link i posted eh...

your false diagram seems to point out there would be no chance of a solar eclipse?

Although the dark matter thing is an actual good idea, you can not prove dark matter is really there so and prove that it causes it so it is not a fact. My question is a fact and has been proven so I'm sorry. I actually thank you for trying to answer my questions unlike people pEople like space cow girl. She is a fucking retard with no social life because she has the inability to get along with others. All she does is sit here and call people wrong without any fact. So to space cow girl, me, and the rest of the world give you a nice handy dandy  FUCK YOU. If you could sit here and be reasonabal and answer questions and not just bitch at everyone then I would respect you. As for frank and dark matter guy I respect you because you have beliefs that aren't fucking retarded and you can somewhat explain why you believe them. So thank you, and fuck you to the rest.

FE can exist without dark matter.

I would note that gravity though, is still unproven

Hey guys, I thought I'd tell you- you're all wrong to refer to the sun as a star, that's a conspirilie.  The sun is a sun.  It is the sun.  The sun is actually a manifestation of god.  They just make it look like a star using the Gray's technology they're hiding at Area 51. Also, there aren't any stars.  Just a giant black semisphere with white dots painted on it.  The white dots are there because if they weren't, the turtle would suffocate from lack of oxygen.

so the diagram points out there would be no solar eclips on flat earth. hmm strange.

Wow is that an accurate representation of sunlight on earth? That would mean the UK would always gets less than 12 hours sunlight.

Nice animated diagram though FlattyFrank

Once again no reply. FET is so flimsy.

Where can I apply for re-education? I feel used.

Hay guise! I found out who guards the big 150 foot ice wal that gos arund teh earth! its thos aleins i saw on tv! they also have  canons that shoot kitens!
