Sorry guys, most of the replies were made when I was asleep.

So jroa, what do you think about what I said towards the end of my post? How can it be day in one place, but night in another?

Light can not travel infinitely through air.
Who said it can?  Relevance to the thread please.

A related question I would like clarification on: does jroa claim that the reason we don't see the sun at night is because the intervening atmosphere is blocking/reducing its light in some way? I would like him to be totally clear on that because I have a further question to ask that depends on his answer.

Do I need to post pictures of mountains again to show that light diffuses with distance through air?

No jroa, you don't.  Because that is a straw man argument and has no bearing on why stars that are more distant than the sun appear on the horizon when the sun does not.

OK, I'm going to take that as a yes.
I shall now raise a new Q&A thread based on your belief.

So how fast does light go from visible to not visible because of the air?

That would depend on the conditions of the air, would it not?

So you are saying conditions in the air can vary so wildly as to make you unable to give an answer to how quickly a star would go from visible and not visible?

Yes.  Some days, there is a lot of pollen or dust in the air.  Some days, there are profound temperature differences.  Some days, there is very little moisture in the air.  Is all of this new to you?

If the Sun was not visable at night because of distance then why is it always the exact same aperent size and why does it apear to go behind the horizon?  Also, FET suggests that the Sun would rise in the north-east and set in the north-west.  Just think about where the Sun would be during those times.

Light can not travel infinitely through air.
  So if stars are farther away from earth than the sun is, how can we see stars but not the sun at night?


Real answer: the place that you are at isn't recieving light from the sun because the Earth is tilted away from the sun at night because the earth is spinning. This allows the star's light to come in.

If 'atmoplanic lensing' is responsible for the Sun's angular size remaining the same between the zenith of it's arc and low on the horizon, how come the Moon's angular diameter gets smaller?

Then why are the stars the same size at the horizon as anywhere else in the picture I posted. Wouldn't they then be much larger because of the same "lensing" that massively increases the Suns apparent size as it rushes away from us?

It's called having a self consistent model.  FE'ers should consider making one some day.

If the sun and moon are about the same size and follow comparable paths above the same atmoplane, then why should they not be subject to the same atmplanic lensing?
