This question is asked of all here who believe Earth is a Sphere of any type. This all has to do with a reply Rabinoz posted to me.

Speaking of the surface of this Earth, what have you observed that proves to you Earth is a sphere?
The Globe community is incapable of verifying Earth has the curvature calculated through experiment or claimed by anyone. They can measure a band of helium but they can’t actually measure and verify the dictated curvature of any landmass or canal. Why not?

I see the curvature of the Earth get in the way of my view of the sun nearly every evening....

I've seen Hilton Head island disappear over the horizon on calm clear days en rout to Betsy Ross Reef for fishing trips, then watch it rise up again on my way back.

Ships and land over the horizon that can NOT be brought back with telescopes or binoculars but CAN with a simple increase in elevation.

Radio and RADAR from ground and airborne platforms that has a range predicted simply by the height of the emitter and can't be increased with an increase in power.

Stars rotating around BOTH the Northern and Southern celestial poles.

Rising and setting Sun

Clouds lit from underneath during Sunrise and Sunset

A horizon that does NOT rise to eye level.

Surface mirages can obscure the bottom part of a boat on a humid day.

Atmospheric condition can give the appearance of a lower horizon, while blocking the horizon.

Perspective. Even a taller mountain off in a distance is going to appear smaller than closer ones, even on a Plane Earth. 

But none of this proves Earth's surface is curved.

While I have seen a timelapse taken from close to the surface of the horizon moving up or down slightly due to shifting temperature layers, it is not blocked.
In conditions with no, or very little, mirage or refraction, the entire object is apparently lowered toward the horizon with the bottom obscured.  One can then raise their viewing elevation and see the obscured parts.  The parts of the object however that are well above the horizon are not distorted like lower areas that are affected by the mirage or refraction.  This fits the globe, not the flat Earth.

I'm not talking about them appearing smaller, I'm talking about points at a specific elevation appearing below a straight line of sight along that same elevation. 

Along a straight line of sight, things below that line of sight appear to rise to it as distance is increased, and things above it appear to lower to it as distance is increased.  Do you agree with that statement?

I stand by the facts observed on this Earth.
So that Earth is round and gravity is real?

You mean you can't walk outside and observe the Moons directional path?
Relative to what?
If you sit on a merry go round, does Earth spin around you while you remain stationary?
When you are in a car driving along a highway, is the car still while Earth flies backwards?

From many experiments we know that Earth rotates roughly once every 23 hours and 56 minutes.
This matches the apparent motion of the stars.
We know that we also orbit the sun, giving the sun the last of its 24 hour period.
We know that the moon orbits Earth.

All of this is 100% consistent with observations.

orbit on a plane and all orbit above a Plane Earth? It's possible, right?
Will there would be nothing for it to orbit around, so there goes the orbit part.
In order to have it match the sub solar point, it also couldn't be an orbit because it would have to change radius as a back and forth spiral, with the speed of its motion being greater at greater radii (so nothing like an elliptical orbit).

But then there is also the simple fact that all celestial objects are not visible from everywhere on Earth.
For example, excluding regions inside the Arctic and Antarctic circle at summer or winter, the sun is observed to go below the horizon.
For a FE, that requires it to go below Earth. But then it is still visible above another location.
Polaris is only visible in the northern hemisphere.
That requires it to be below Earth for the southern hemisphere and above it for the northern hemisphere.

This simply does not work. So no, it isn't possible.
These are the kind of observations you need to deal with to support a FE. These are the observations you need to deal with if you want to have any kind of chance of defeating RET.

The only way for it to work is for Earth to be round.
That gives each location a unique "above" and "below" direction, so the a celestial object can be "below" the ground for one location while being above another.

Speaking of the surface of this Earth, what have you observed that proves to you Earth is a sphere?
The horizon, and the behaviour of objects near the horizon.
But why limit it to just the surface.
The behaviour of celestial objects also proves Earth is round.

Then there are things like laser ring gyroscopes and Foucault's pendulum and large scale weather systems that not only show Earth is round, but also that it is rotating.


Clouds lit from underneath is a good point. But explained easily.
Only by the sun literally being below them.
i.e. the ancient FE, incompatible with so many observations, or a RE.

What have you observed that proves Earth is flat?
So far all I have seen you do is appeal to ignorance and claim lies about how a RE should/does work.

There is so much that points to a RE, but literally nothing that points to a FE.

What's the location, and what do you think is a logical explanation if Earth isn't curved?
