What illuminates the other planets?

If the sun is a spotlight to us on earth. Then the earth is illuminated.

But the sun is a flat disc correct?

So what illuminates the other planets then?

im gonna go with other stars.

but are sun is a star. So those stars should be discs. Stars are not bright enough to illuminate a planet millions of light years away

I posted a similar topic about a week ago

Didn't get anywhere though :roll:

Have you ever thought that the sun is bi-directional?

Have you ever thought that the sun is bi-directional?

Yeah, I did actually.

By how does that account for all the planets to be illuminated at once.

I two ended tube of light would not illuminate everything.

All planets are not illuminated at once. Also, its not a cylinder.

What shape is it then?

Err...all planets are illuminated at once. What would make you think they weren't?

Of course since the earth is flat, why would you assume that other astrological models were similar. Since the earth is flat and the sun and moon  rotate around it, it would follow that the other planets are also flat and are much further 'above' our plane. In this way, they have light from the other side of the sun on them.

What you just said proves that would constantly be illiminated?

Their orbits are much wider than the sun is to the earth, so far in fact that at times they cannot be seen from earth, nor are they illuminated by the sun.

orbit??

orbit suggest gravity?

I can't postulate as to why the planets, sun, or moon do this. Maybe someone else here knows.

cos you're talkin out your arse mate.

Then why do the planets rotate and have different "sides" while maintaining their circular shape?  That's only possible with a sphere.
