IF the flat earth is true then how come i can't see the eiffel tower? IF the earth is flat then we can see all of it (if its tall enough), yet we can't??

although, come up with good evidance against flat earth and you will be abused. hmmm....

completly of topic. i mean as in if the flat earth existed i should be able to see the tower from where i live, and yet i dont, so it is indeed a round earth. geography proves this.

as i said, i can clearly see the trees outside, or even france from dover.
and then how are there variations on tempreture . easly explainable on a round earth.

The atmolayer isn't perfectly transparent. There's a distance beyond which you can't see because the thickness of the atmolayer obscures it.

If curvature is cutting off your vision, how come the horizon's position changes depending on the clarity of the air (on a foggy day versus a clear one, for example?)

 ??? i knew it was goingto be a farshot with the why cant i see the eiffel tower. but, still, how do different areas of the globe has a different temperature? or what a bout atmospheric circulation? micro climates?
does anyone have a picture of theis "ice wall" or a diagram?

Oh man, lurk a bit. These are rookie questions.

Find out what we think about the Sun and its movements and half your Q's are answered.

And stop calling it "the globe".

i have lurked a bit but all i see is FE's calling others noobs and saying use search, i would like a piece of evidance here. another thing FE's calls all NASA's photos fakes yet, tom bishop post a link to a photo. hmmm... :-\
so... does anyone have link to a diagram of this "flat earth" or a photo of the ice wall?? (still fake though, i guess)

You newcomers whine at us for asking you to read up on the subject - but if you did, we wouldn't have to ask you to, and you wouldn't ask these simple questions over and over again.

Then again, perhaps our snobbery isn't the best way to boost support. Who knows.

Different heat is pretty bleeding obvious. The sun moves around. It shines more on some places than others. I recommend Earth Not a Globe Chapter VIII (Causes of Day and Night, Winter and Summer; and the Long Alternations of...)

if the earth is flat then it wouldn't shine more on one place then the other.
the more curved the area of land then th colder it is. that explains why the equator is hotter then places near south and north pole.
    Which leads me into da and night?? let me guess, gods hand? or is night just part of the cover up. hmmm...

What?  The earth is more 'curved' at the equator than at the poles.

but the suns rays are a straight line, therefor they would curve more near the antartic but less at the equator   [hits less of the curve -(]   [hits more of the curve_(]

simple geolography explians this.

unexplainable superrefraction via the basic Tenet's of Snell's law is what causes this illusion. It's all in the flat earth literature.

whats wrong with you Engy Baby? Everyone knows the suns rays are yellow and straight. Or sometimes wavy I guess, but I always drew them straight. And the sun wears sunglasses.

i mean they would hit more of curve. my fault on that one.


but flat eaarth is as unexplainable as the C'Tan and necrons. (they do exist)

No. But light from the sun refracts when it hits the atmosphere, because it's moving from 1 medium to another.

not by much variation. a sun moving doesnt explain the equator and north/south pole.

Well, given that the FE theory holds that the Sun is 32 miles in diameter, the angle of refraction would change dramatically. The theory holds reasonably well in this case.
