Question about the Sun

Newton's First Law states that an object will stay in rest or will continue to move in a straight line unless an external force is acted upon it. If the Sun is constantly accelerating/decelerating (depending on the time of year), then what force is being acted upon it to keep it moving in that manner?

If the Sun is constantly accelerating/decelerating (depending on the time of year), . . .

That's a giant IF.

That's what flat earthers claim. They say that the Sun is constantly accelerating/decelerating, which varies depending on the month.

I have never ever heard anything like that before.

Seriously?

The Wiki says this:

When the sun is further away from the North Pole, it's winter in the northern hemiplane (or hemisphere) and summer in the south. A more simplistic picture can be found below.

Then is shows a picture below.

This means that the Sun is constantly changing velocities slowly, but surely. For example, the Sun is supposed to be moving at around 1,936km/h at June Solstice, but moves at 3,300km/h at December Solstice. That's a difference of 1,364km/h. Concluding, the Sun would change speeds (1,364km/h) over a unit of time (months). Which is the definition of acceleration.

yes

I think I'm violating the Q&A rules.
Sorry Mom.

I don't think you are. If you are a flat earther, we are allowed to discuss here... I think.

Back to the question please, it's the reason why I made a new thread.

Q&A isn't a discussion forum. It's for questions about FE theory, and the answers need to be FE answers. If you'd like to have a discussion I can move this to FE General, or you can start a new thread.

Sure, please move it to Flat Earth General. Thank you.

It's a good question, but the forces required to change it's speed are nothing compared to the forces required to keep it circling the North pole, above the ground and between the tropics.

What keeps the sun in the sky? Why doesn't it fly off at a tangent and hit the Antarctic ice walls?
