What is the cause of day/night change (on flat Earth)?

Every post of mine has content.  I cannot help those that choose not to see it.

If you want an answer to your question though, it has to do with the effect of aether on light.  Aether bends light.

Every post is content. I'd be curious to know how Aether bends light in such a wacky way. Normally light is not bent in such a way that there is a mere hemisphere lit up out of a sphere.

If you want an answer to your question though, it has to do with the effect of aether on light.  Aether bends light.

Interesting. Could you elaborate on that?

I thought:

• the flat Earth screens everything above it from the ether wind, otherwise we would feel this wind. (I read elsewhere this wind is deadly, making impossible the exploration of the flat Earths' underside)
• if it is the wind indeed, it bends the light in the wrong direction

^^this seems to me to be how it would have to work, in the conventional flat earth model. this explains seasonal climates, day and night on opposite longtitudes, and changing day lengths.

i'm still trying to figure out how the different physical lengths of the tropic of cancer and the tropic of capricorn could be compensated. i can't see any way around it except for the sun's rotational speed being faster when it's summer in the southern latitudes.

how would that look from the ground?

Being spherical and very close to the Earth, 3200 miles, it should have no problem lighting 1/2 of the known world.
Spotlight is a very misleading term for the sun. Yes, it may act like a wide circle of light upon the Earth, but spotlight is just very deceiving.

Wait what? 3200 miles? How small do you guys think the sun is?

I thought you read the FAQ?

If he agrees with the FAQ then approximately 32 miles in diameter.

It seems like every flat earther has their own spin on things so how would I know that his beliefs coincide with the FAQ?

So do you guys believe the solar system looks like this?(in regard to the shape of the planets and position of the sun).

No, I don't think anyone thinks that the Solar System looks like that.

how would that look from the ground?

From the ground it would/will look the same. Did you hear any complains by australians or newzeelanders lately (about Suns' peculiarities)? No.
This means the "catBots' equation" describes the Observable Nature perfectly.
When I have more time I'll provide a picture of the Sun above the Tropic of Capricorn over the flat Earth.

To make this work with the apparent day/night changes on the flat Earth one would need to introduce (the already well known) Ice Crystals which should form a lens of certain curvature.

No, I don't think anyone thinks that the Solar System looks like that.

Specificity: In regard to the shape of the planets and position of the sun. (I know I don't have all the planets, they're not to scale, distances are not to scale, and the real solar system is not in MS Paint... happy?)

Still, no.  I don't think anyone thinks that the Solar System looks like that.

Then what do you think it looks like? I see a flat earth, a sun above the earth about 1/8th the distance of the diameter of the flat earth, and the other round planets of our solar system. What am I missing?

dog has a point wich relates to my thread SOLARSYSTEM. FE has no model of the universe that can predict our observations of the planets moon astroids etc but in the real world we have a model that can do all of this perfectly.

I thought you read the FAQ?

I don't believe that the FAQ addresses this particular question any longer.
