But we can see moon as spherical not as a flat disc and if it is flat disc then people would be seeing it elliptical in some different location.
Is this the question that nobody would answer?
Frankly, I thought that what you said was so logically correct that I didn't bother to answer, so yes obviously the moon is spherical.
But, on the flat earth there is a big problem with a spherical moon and that is the fact that we see almost the same face all the time.
This is probably why many flat earthers, especially many on YouTube claim it must be flat.
This problem is that on the flat earth a spherical moon is seen at a wide range of angles, as in this diagram:
Full moon flat earth, scale height, enlarged objectsClearly observers at various locations on earth see different phases, with no-one seeing a truly full moon.
An even more serious problem is that these observers see quite different faces of the moon.
We know, however, that wherever the moon is in the sky and where on earth we observe it from, we always see almost the same face.
This is quite consistent with a distant moon (about 383,000 km) orbiting the globe,
but would seem to present an insurmountable problem for the flat earth
with its small moon (about 50 km diameter) circling about 5000 km above the earth.
Any flat earth explanations?
